It s unclear yet whether a change in federal and state guidance for wearing masks outdoors will drastically alter what businesses and public gathering spots will require of visitors in the coming days.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday that it would ease recommendations on where fully vaccinated people need to wear masks. The agency suggested they were no longer necessary for fully inoculated individuals when eating, exercising and gathering in smaller groups outdoors.
That may not prove to be a huge change for Ohioans, whose state health orders already permit those activities. Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday that the mask order, first established in July, might be tweaked, but he didn t see any major changes necessitated by the CDC guidance.
