COVID-19 Update: Reopening of Restaurants, Bars, and
Personal Care Services
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine,
Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Dr. Amy Acton, MD, MPH, last
week announced the next phase of the Responsible RestartOhio
plan as it relates to restaurants, bars, and personal care
services.
As part of last week's
announcement, Governor DeWine reminded Ohioans that COVID-19
is still incredibly dangerous and stressed the importance of
continuing to exercise safe health habits as different
sectors of the economy begin to reopen.
"Reopening Ohio is a risk,
but it's also a risk if you don't move forward. We're on a
dangerous road that has never been traveled before in Ohio
and the danger is that we relax and stop taking
precautions," said Governor DeWine. "All of us collectively
control this. I ask you to take calculated risks and make
good judgments. Continue social distancing, washing your
hands, and wearing face coverings. If you aren't concerned
with what happens to you, do it for others."
RESTAURANTS/BARS:
Restaurants and bars in Ohio
will be permitted to reopen as follows:
* Outdoor dining: May 15
* Dine-in service: May 21
To ensure that these
establishments operate in the safest manner possible,
Governor DeWine's Restaurant Advisory Group created a
detailed list of guidelines and best practices for
restaurant and bar owners to follow. The full list of
mandatory and recommended best practices can be found at

PERSONAL CARE SERVICES:
Personal care services such
as hair salons, barbershops, day spas, nail salons, and
tanning facilities may reopen on May 15.
To ensure that these
establishments operate in the safest manner possible,
Governor DeWine's Personal Services Advisory Group created a
detailed list of guidelines and best practices for personal
care service providers to follow. The full list of mandatory
and recommended best practices can be found at
