(Bloomberg) -- Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is imposing a curfew starting at 10 p.m. Nov. 19, clamping down on retail establishments in a bid to stop the spread of Covid-19 in the state.
The curfew will run from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day for 21 days, the Republican governor announced Tuesday in one of his regularly scheduled briefings.
“We know that if we reduce the number of people we come in contact every day with, we reduce the chances of getting the virus,” DeWine said. Unlike last spring, “we’re not talking about closing any businesses as we did then, but what we are asking every Ohioan to do is limit your contact.”
The state reported 7,079 cases and 30 deaths in the past 24 hours.
