Social distancing measures are a very effective method to protect the community from COVID-19. We appreciate local businesses who have adhered to Ohio Department of Health Guidelines. Some good examples we have noticed throughout Wyandot County include posting informative social distancing signage at public entries, allowing employees to work from home when feasible, placing an employee at entrances to limit state-ordered occupancy, and marking 6 foot distances on floors. Ultimately, the responsibility for maintaining social distance lies with every citizen.
