Governor DeWine recommends that everyone wears a cloth mask when in public. These masks protect those around you by preventing the spread of your germs. You must still maintain 6 foot social distance at all times. Using washable cloth masks allows medical grade supplies to be reserved for healthcare workers and first responders.
