(WJW) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that people who are fully vaccinated no longer need to wear masks in most places. And, the Ohio Department of Health modified its mask orders to reflect that decision.
Now stores, attractions and local municipalities are determining their stance on the matter.
All other state health orders will be eliminated starting June 2, Gov. Mike DeWine announced.
Take a look at announcements we have so far below:
AKRON
Akron City Council voted on May 17, 2021 to lift its mandate requiring masks in public places effective immediately.
AKRON RUBBERDUCKS
The Akron RubberDucks announced they are opening to full capacity starting June 2. Game goers will still need to wear masks until that date.
AKRON ZOO
Following the Akron City Council’s lead, the Akron Zoo will no longer require fully vaccinated guests to wear masks. They ask that visitors who are not fully vaccinated continue to wear face coverings, and for all to still socially distance.
BEACHWOOD
Once Gov. DeWine has lifted the mask order on June 2, the City of Beachwood said it, also, will remove the City mask and social-distancing mandates. However, the City still recommends that all unvaccinated residents and visitors continue wearing masks and practicing social distancing, according to CDC guidelines.

Kennywood is no longer requiring guests and employees alike to wear masks, in accordance with the CDC guidelines. The West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, amusement park is still asking those who are not vaccinated to mask up.
