Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine during his April 1, 2020, coronavirus briefing.
Many feared the number of coronavirus cases in Ohio would surge post-Thanksgiving if families gathered as normal, but data show many in fact heeded the call not to do that. So Gov. Mike DeWine is again urging Ohioans to hunker down for the upcoming Christmas holiday.
To be clear, cases went up, but thankfully, we have not seen cases go up dramatically, DeWine said during a Monday press conference. We re happy with what we saw. Overall, we should be pleased with what Ohioans did over that Thanksgiving weekend.
Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, chief medical officer at the Ohio Department of Health, joined the conference virtually to remind everyone of the precautions repeated since March: stay home, wear your mask and wash hands.
