Restaurants, gyms, daycare centers, barbershops, and hair salons will remain temporarily closed as Ohio launches its first phase of reopening the state, Gov. Mike DeWine announced April 27.
Starting May 1, all health procedures or operations that do not require overnight stays can be performed as well as dental procedures and veterinary procedures, DeWine said on Twitter. Non-essential medical procedures and surgeries were halted last month to preserve masks and other personal protective equipment, as well as hospital beds and to ensure social distancing was being practiced.
