Ask yourself this: Will the family reunion be worth it if your grandmother tests positive and dies? Will the neighborhood cookout be worth it if your neighbor ends up alone, on a ventilator, in ICU? Will the play date be worth it, if the kids can’t go back to school in the fall?
Today, I am announcing that @OHDeptofHealth will issue an order, effective 6:00 pm tomorrow, that will mandate wearing of face coverings in public in all counties that are designated Red Level 3 Public Health Emergency Alert.
Wearing a mask is not something you do for yourself. It's something you do for others. I am optimistic that the number of people wearing face coverings will increase as they realize what is at stake. ➡ Lives are at stake. #StaySafeOhio#InThisTogetherOhio
