Asked whether there are a certain set of coronavirus numbers that would push him to shut down the Ohio economy again, he said: “this is a process where we continue to learn, and see what’s happening in other places … having said that, we have seven metrics, we’ll go into next time, when you see higher numbers being reached, we’ll go over that next time …We hope people will do what they need to do.”
