Beginning May 1, all health procedures and operations that do not require overnight stay in a hospital can continue to move forward, according to an order issued by DeWine.

On May 12, under the new order, retail, service and consumer businesses will be allowed to reopen, but all employees and guests will be required to wear face masks or coverings while working at or visiting these places of business.
