All Coronavirus health orders except those that pertain to nursing homes and assisted living facilities will be lifted on June 2, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced in a special press event Wednesday evening. That includes statewide mask mandates.
DeWine made the decision to lift the orders under immense political pressure. He can expect a vicious primary challenge from the right next year, and his opponents can be counted upon to use the Governor s health orders as a central campaign talking point.
But demand for vaccinations in Ohio has plummeted. Right now, the state is only using about 20% of its federal allotment of doses, and vaccinations sites across the state are reducing their operations in response to dwindling demand.

Note from Opinion Editor Amelia Robinson this guest column appeared in the Columbus Dispatch s print edition April 12.
Not bad, considering that last year at this time, experts warned it could take years for vaccines to become available. Instead, drug makers Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson brought their inoculations to market in less than one.
This record-breaking rollout was no fluke.
It was a direct result of billions of dollars of private-sector investment, coupled with U.S. policies that encourage drug invention. Thanks to our system, American biopharmaceutical firms currently have 4,500 medicines in development, including 260 vaccines, making the United States the global leader in medical innovation.
