In Ohio, outdoor and indoor sports and entertainment venues can be reopened with limited attendance, based on rules announced Thursday by Governor Mike DeWine. He also said that guidance for proms, banquets, wedding receptions, trade fairs, festivals and parades is coming soon.

Depending on the progress of the coronavirus pandemic this spring and summer, attendance restrictions may be further relaxed, but may also be restricted if things get worse due to coronavirus variants. The governor said there was.

According to DeWine, outdoor venues can be reopened with up to 30% capacity and indoor venues can be reopened with 25% capacity. The governor said social distance and continuous masking are the keys to making these restrictions work.

“The goal is for all of us to return to where we want to be, our pre-pandemic life,” Dewin said.

The Republican governor called this measure a “bridge” to return to normal life, but it is based on vaccination and continues to follow safety protocols such as wearing masks.

The Governor also announced that the state’s two veterans’ homes had reopened new admissions almost a year later. The state has also lifted restrictions on visits to state behavioral health care facilities.
