Health order extended in Ohio to January 23
Ohio acts extend stay at home provisions until 12:01 p.m. January 23 as Health Director Stephanie McCloud reiterates restrictions from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. with exemptions for essential work, medical needs, groceries, caregiving, and transportation. The measure excludes homelessness and avoids faith and media speech, with updates not posted due to the holiday. Medina County ends 2020 with 9,312 COVID-19 cases and 114 deaths.
