Presented by Hometown-Motors, Inc.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine delivered on his promise made earlier in the week, to release information on the state guidelines for opening schools safely next month.

Holding up a 36 page handbook for schools assembled by school administrators and the Governor’s office, DeWine addressed the dynamics of demographical breakdowns the schools are facing.

OHIO PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY SYSTEM:
The Governor then introduced territorial grading system rating the impact COVID-19 is making county-by-county across the state.

Most of Southeast Ohio was a Level 1 grade, deemed “Active exposure and spread. Follow all current health orders.” 53 counties are at Level 1.

Fairfield, Lawrence, Pickaway and Scioto join 24 other counties at Level 2 “Increased exposure and spread. Exercise high degree of caution. Follow all current health orders.”

Many urban areas at Level 3 grades “Very high exposure and spread. Limit activities as much as possible. Follow all current health orders.”

The highest is Level 4 “Severe exposure and spread. Only leave home for supplies and services. Follow all current health orders.” No county is at Level 4 at this time.

DeWine says the zoning system would be updated on Wednesday’s.
