Ohio and Indiana issue MANDATORY mask orders while in public starting with kids as young as EIGHT
THE state of Ohio and Indiana have issued a mandatory mask order while out in public - starting with kids as young as eight years old.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine made the announcement during a Wednesday afternoon press conference, Highland County Press reported.
"This situation is not unique. We have heard from multiple local health departments that they are tracing cases related to out-of-state travel.
"Trips to states where there are high positivity rates, such as South Carolina and Florida, are leading to outbreaks here in Ohio."
Anyone traveling to Ohio from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho are urged to self-quarantine upon arrival.
""We know all of these things are sacrifices, but we hope that these are short-term sacrifices for something that we all want to see," DeWine explained.
"That is this virus under control and to be able to do more things as we move into the fall."
