Monday’s briefing comes three days before the statewide curfew of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. is set to expire, meaning DeWine could make a decision to allow the curfew to end or to extend it further as the state continues to fight the surge of the virus.

On Sunday, the Ohio department of health reported 10,469 new COVID-19 cases and 64 new coronavirus-related deaths in the state.
