These numbers come after the announcement from Gov. Mike DeWine that he was postponing a planned press conference today, following the arrests of Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and others. Instead, Ohioans can expect a public address regarding the arrests at 2:30 p.m. DeWine is expected to speak tomorrow instead.

Gov. DeWine postpones COVID-19 press conference until tomorrow

Last week, Mike DeWine addressed the people of Ohio (as seen in the video above) saying that he highly recommends that everyone wear face masks while in public, but that he was not yet making anything mandatory.

Sunday, Gov. Mike DeWine announced that Ohioans could expect more orders this week, and that he is not ruling out making mask mandates a statewide thing. However, with the press conference postponement today, Ohioans will have to wait to hear what (if any) new orders are set to be rolled out in the state.
