Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced the state is closing down all restaurants and bars across the state to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“I’m aware that this will impact many, many good workers. I can’t tell you how sorry I am, but we will work to mitigate the suffering. It is our goal for everyone to get through this. Every day we delay, more people will die,” DeWine wrote in a statement in announcing the measures.
