“Ohioans have done a great job during the pandemic, said Governor Mike DeWine. “And, with more than five million Ohioans who have received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, we are getting back to living the lives we want.”

The governor added that it is important to remember that there a significant number of Ohioans who remain unvaccinated.

“It is important that those not fully vaccinated continue to wear masks indoors and follow other preventative measures to keep themselves as healthy as possible.”
