Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has announced that Ohio public and private schools are closed down for three weeks, starting Monday until at least April 3 over concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus, which causes a disease called COVID-19.

The move will go into effect after class on Monday, March 16, said the governor. During the three weeks, each school will have to make a decision on whether to practice online or remote teaching, he said during a press conference.
