The sacri?ces and incredible efforts that Ohioans have undertaken, make it possible to begin to lift
the mandatory requirements and restrictions that were needed during the initial phase of the
Pandemic.

2020 that reopened businesses, with exceptions, and continues a stay healthy and safe at home
order in the State is rescinded.

Section 5 (Prohibited and permitted travel) of the Director of Health Order signed April 30, 2020
that reopened businesses, with exceptions, and continues a stay healthy and safe at home order in
the State is amended to read as follows:
