The governor laid out his timeline during a press briefing on Monday
In his Monday announcement on the plan to reopen Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine said retail shops across Ohio can begin reopening May 12 as long as they follow strict rules to keep both customers and employees safe.
During his Monday coronavirus briefing, the governor laid out his timeline for when businesses will be allowed to reopen, with the last group — consumer, retail, and services — being the last on the list.
In order for stores to reopen, business in Ohio must follow the following guidelines:
For their employees:
- Ensure a minimum of 6 feet between people, and if that is not possible, then they must install barriers
- Employees must perform daily symptom checks and require those employees who are showing COVID-19 symptoms to stay home
- Employees must wear face coverings at all times and wash their hands regularly.
- Hand sanitizers must be placed in high-contact locations.
- High-touch areas such as shopping carts and baskets must be cleaned after each use.
For their customers and guests:
- Keep 6 feet of space between people
- Set specific hours for high-risk members of the public, such as seniors
- Place hand sanitizers in high-contact locations for customer use
- Ask customers not to enter if they show COVID-19 symptoms
- Wear face covering while shopping or visiting
- Stagger entry for customers
