COLUMBUS, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine issued a proclamation Friday offering the Ohio National Guard to help local jails cover staffing shortages caused by the spread of the coronavirus.
The proclamation is a response to “the significant number of COVID-19 infections amongst state, county, and local corrections officers that has reduced staffing levels required to maintain safe and adequate security at some facilities,” a statement from the governor’s office said.
