COLUMBUS Ohio’s mask mandate and most other coronavirus-related state orders will end on June 2, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Wednesday, in a declaration allowing three weeks for more people to get vaccinated before then.
DeWine’s announcement applies to all of the state’s COVID-19 orders such as distancing in restaurants and the mask mandate except those for nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. However, the governor noted that stores and businesses still may require customers to be masked.
DeWine also announced some big incentives for people to get vaccinated. Beginning May 26, adults who have received at least one dose of the vaccine may enter a lottery that will provide a $1 million prize each Wednesday for five weeks. In random drawings, the state will also provide five full four-year scholarships to an Ohio public university–including tuition, room-and-board, and books–to Ohioans under the age of 18 who have been vaccinated.
