COLUMBUS, Ohio Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday condemned rioting that occurred Wednesday in Washington D.C., where supporters of President Donald Trump overran the Capitol building.
DeWine then outlined the next phases of a vaccination program aimed at halting the COVID-19 pandemic. He said priority will be given to senior citizens.
The governor referred to the storming of the Capitol building and occupation of the Senate chamber as a “dark day” and a “direct attack on the Constitution, on everything we hold dear.” The protestors’ apparent goal was preventing the certification of the electoral votes.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE The Belmont County Health Department had expected to begin a second phase of COVID-19 vaccinations next week, but word was received Wednesday that those shots will be delayed for at least two weeks.
Residents eligible for the vaccine under Phase 1B of the state’s rollout will have to wait longer than anticipated. Belmont County Deputy Health Commissioner Robert Sproul said Wednesday that Gov. Mike DeWine’s office informed him the move to Phase 1B will be delayed by two weeks or more.
During his Wednesday update to the Belmont County Board of Commissioners, Sproul said there has been a high demand for the shots statewide. He said his department continues to work through the groups in Phase 1A, which includes nursing home residents and staff, hospital workers and first responders. Sproul said vaccinations in that group are scheduled through this week and into the weekend.
