Coronavirus In Ohio: Gov. Mike DeWine Plans To Reopen Salons And Restaurants

COLUMBUS (KDKA/AP) - Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced salons and restaurants can begin reopening on May 15.

Restaurants can open outdoor dining on May 15, followed by the restart of dine-in services May 21, the Ohio governor announced Thursday.

The dining reopening comes with limits, including a party limit of 10 and spacing between tables at restaurants.

As for barbershops, hair salons, day spas, nail salons and other personal services, Gov. DeWine has given those the go-ahead to reopen May 15 as well.

The number of confirmed and probable deaths associated with the coronavirus has reached 1,225, state health officials said Tuesday. The department noted more than 21,000 presumptive and confirmed cases of the virus, including just over 4,000 hospitalizations.

For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in a couple of weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems are at higher risk of more severe illness, including pneumonia, or death.
