Gov. Dewine good afternoon, everyone. Hope everybody had a good weekend. Today i want to talk about where we have been, where we are today, and where we are going in the future in regard to our battle with covid19. But before i do that, i would like to remind all of us, myself included, of three things. And i would ask you to keep these in mind you have done an amazing job. The things that we ask you to do, ohioans have stepped up. Candidly, we are where we are today where we can start getting the economy moving, start getting people back to work, we are here because of what you have done. Its mattered. Youve got the job done. Number two, second fact, the coronavirus is still here. Its just as dangerous as it has ever been. Its still living amongst us. I was thinking about this this weekend, and i thought back to when fran and i were children growing up. Sunday morning we would go to st. Pauls catholic church, and the nuns taught us, and i remember, it is sheared in my memory, the nuns talking about the devil, and the devil is roaming the world searching for souls. Im not saying that the virus is the devil. I would describe it as a monster. But it is searching. And it is searching for bodies. And the way it does it is from going from one body to the other. The main things that you have done, you have dramatically slowed this process. But the virus is still out, it is still in ohio, just as dangerous as it was before. Third fact, the tools that we have had to slow it down, to break it from going from one person to the other, are still the same. We actually have a couple new ones, but the essential ones, the most important ones are still the same. Distance, distance, distance. Keeping that distance. Second, washing our hands. Third, the normal sanitation of surfaces and other things. And what i normally call masks, i do not know if it is a true mask or not, but it is something to cover our face, a face covering. These are things that we have used successfully, and these are things that we are going to have to continue to do as we start moving forward in the economy. I had a conversation first of all, i want to thank our business group. We had men and women from bigger companies, midsized companies, small companies, and asked them to come together and help us in coming up with the right protocols. Frankly, we have learned from things that have occurred with businesses that were allowed to stay open, some of the things that they have done where they have done a really, really good job. The person who headed that up was Frank Sullivan. I had a conversation with frank this morning i have a lot of conversations with him, as this has been getting put together. Something the Lieutenant Governor worked on daily. He said, the idea that we cannot do two things at once in ohio is crazy. We are ohioans. We can do two things at once. We can get this economy moving back, and at the same time continue to protect each other, and protect our communities. So, lets talk a little bit about that. And let me start with where we are, and what we have accomplished. And i want to talk, as you will see some of these things im going to show you, they directly relate, directly relate to getting us moving in may, and getting us moving forward. So, i am going to start if i could with the covid19 statistics that we just got a few minutes ago. And i will start you can see the total number of cases. But what i would look at is over here to this side. Five day reported case average. You go back five days and look at what we have seen, what is that average. So lets start with cases. Five day reported cases, go back five days, 442 was the average for each day. Last 24 hours, 362. So, you can see we are going in the right direction, down. Down. It is a lagging indicator, so it is always far behind whatever else is occurring. In the last 24 hours, what was reported is the deaths at 25 of our fellow citizens were reported. The five day average, going back five days, was 29. Hospitalizations, again, something that i always want to look at. These are things that i look at every morning. Last reported last 24 hour reported hospitalizations, new ones, 54. Five day average was 70. Again, that one is going in the right direction. Admissions in the last 24 hours, 26. Five day average is 20. You can see with these lines that what you have done is made a difference. Now, we are not there. We have not had two weeks coming down. But we are moving. We are moving in the right direction. And it is because of what you have done, and that is just so very, very important. Let me share with you Something Else. And remember i talked about may as a crucial month. We needed to fight this virus, two additional things, besides what you have been doing. We need two additional things. We need to ramp up testing dramatically, and we need at the same time to do the tracing. So i am going to start with the testing. Remember last week we talked about earlier in the week, i talked about asking former governor celeste and governor taft to come in and help us. They pulled together with our team. We were able to get an agreement with Thermo Fisher in regard to a problem that we have had and other states have had, and that is the inability to get enough reagent. That was a major breakthrough. Also last week, the manufacturer alliance, specifically road dental. Now we have come up with a method to consistently make a lot more swabs. Every single day. So, those two things coming together. This is what may looks like. This is what our projection is. We start april 29, that is this wednesday. And you will see at the top in white, daily testing totals. And you will see each week, where we go. April 29, that week, that next seven days, daily testing at about 7200 a day. That is significantly above what we have had. A weekly total of roughly 43,000. The week beginning may 6, we double it. 14,000. And again, you will see the number doubling down below, that is the weekly total. May 13, roughly 18,000 per day. May 20, 20,000. May 27, 22,000. This is what we think we will be able to achieve. But we think we have a real shot at getting those numbers, and being able to come up with that much capacity to test. So, again, in may, a lot of interesting things are happening, and things that we have been waiting for, things that we have trying to get going. Last week it kicked in. Lets go to tracing. We talked last week about tracing. Tracing and testing go together. And tracing, as the doctor explained it last week, is something that Health Departments have done for years. Nothing new about tracing. Simply trying to break that, separate people, so when someone has it, someone has been exposed to it, then they do not expose someone else. It is kind of basic. And again, it is something that our 113 Health Departments know how to do. But the challenge is they have never had this many to do. This is at a scale that we have never seen before. And so, if we are going to move the economy forward, open things up, we have got to be able to do the testing, we have got to do the tracing, and you all have got to continue to do the separation and all the things that you have been doing. So, this is the Contact Tracing workforce. It takes people. To the left we have about 685 local Public Health workers at local public Health Departments around the state of ohio who are trained to do this. They are there. But clearly that will not be enough. So right now under tier one, we have about 900 volunteers. These are people who have been doing other things, they said they would volunteer to do this. And we are using some of these volunteers now. But we know that this could be with us for a year, 18 months, and this tracing will have to be done over a long period of time. So hiring people over the long haul is probably where we need to go. So we are giving money to each of the Health Department s around the states so they can hire people to do this. We are going to bring them into train them. Again, this goes back as partners in health, a group i told you about, they will come and help us train these workers. This is a pool that we are putting together at the state level. Tier two and tier three are really occurring simultaneously as we move forward through the month. What is that group for . It is for if we have a nursing home or we have a number of people who have the virus, or if we have Something Else in the community, a village, somewhere else where the local Health Care Department is overrun. We will be able to surge people in there to make a difference. Our aspirational goal, 1750 workers in process. So again, a lot of things we believe will happen in may. The tracing, the testing enables us to move forward to open up the economy even more. I do not think i have to tell any ohioan the importance of moving forward. My heart aches for the businessmen and women who have not been able to work, who are looking at savings going down every day. The people who work in those businesses, people who are unemployed, one cannot overstate the tragedy of this. So, weve got to get moving. Weve got to get people back to work. Weve got to open things backup. At the same time we have to protect ohioans. So lets talk about how we are going to move forward. And let me just say, add one more thing, and the Lieutenant Governor the other day did a very good job talking about this. There are many Health Results when the economy goes down. They are not good. Depression goes up, Domestic Violence goes up, and i could go on and on. So these are things that are directly related to peoples wellbeing, directly related to their health. The anxiety of not having a paycheck, the anxiety of not knowing how you are going to take care of your family. These are all things that impact peoples lives. Ive talked a lot, weve talked a lot about and i know a lot of speculation in the news media, when we are going to open this up, when we are going to open that up, when it is going to be and those are all logical questions. But i think the most important question really is how we do it. Because if we do it right, we can provide as much protection as we can, theres always a risk, but as much protection as we can to our workers, as much protection as we can to everyone involved. So how is very important. Let me start with our first announcement. On may 1, we are going to have a health care opening. I want to talk a little bit about why we have slowed things down in hospitals. March 17, director acton issued an order in regard to nonessential medical procedures. Why was that order issued . It was issued because we needed to make sure that as the virus continued to spread that we had enough hospital beds to take care of it, that we had enough personal protective equipment for our First Responders, our hospital workers, people in Nursing Homes, etc. And we also wanted to utilize, make sure we are having the social distance. And we also wanted to utilize, make sure we are having the social distance. Again, you all have done a great job. Hospitals aret not full, we have space. Done a good job with social distancing. The one area that is still not quite where we want it is personal protection. It is coming. We have stood up more sources in ohio and other places, we have secured more of this. But it is not exactly where we want it, and that is the thing that we remain concerned about. But we have a team that works on this absolutely every day to try to secure more protection equipment. Our order that we are issuing for may 1, all Health Procedures that can be done that do not require an overnight stay in a hospital, we will be able to move forward with those procedures. Operations or procedures. And i would ask you to remember that under the old order, when surgeries were necessary, even if the person stayed overnight, those were still allowed. For example, and this is from the order that was issued before, a threat to the patients life is delayed. Those have always been allowed. Two, threat of permanent dysfunction of extremity, organ system, or possibly the spread of cancer. Those have certainly been allowed all through this. Three, pain. Someone has significant pain. And theres a procedure that can be done to alleviate that pain, those have always been allowed. Four, the presence of severe symptoms causing an inability to perform the normal actions of daily life. So, those have all been there. We have built upon those, and that includes any procedure that can be done where the person does not spend the night in the hospital. We also dentists, dentists, veterinarians should also beginning may 1, be able to be at full steam ahead. So all of this occurs on may 1. The only thing that is left is some elective surgeries, and as we see how we are moving forward and the availability of ppe, we will, when that time is appropriate, open that up as well. But this is a major, major change. And i know doctor acton will talk in a little bit about something that has occurred, not as a result of our order, but something has occurred because people have been afraid. Been afraid to go to their doctor, been afraid to go to the hospital. So, be respective of these orders that have never blocked that. We have seen wellbaby visits have gone down, many things have gone down. And doctor acton will talk a little bit about that and the importance about getting back in the game in regard to making sure that children, making sure yourself, or having the appointments that you need. I want to move now to may 4. May 4, manufacturing, distribution, and construction. That will be opened up. As i said, weve learned a lot from businesses that stayed open. And some of the things that we have provided in this order we have learned, frankly, from business. But again, it goes back what we are going to require of the companies that open up, and also any company that is already open. When these orders go in on may 4, this will apply to any manufacturing, construction, whether it was open before or not. Again, what i think people should look at is how, how we are doing it. And we are doing it in as safe a way as humanly possible based on what we have learned and what Health Experts have advised us. So, lets look at that chart. In fact, before i do that, let me call your attention to this one. Because this one, covid19 responsible protocols for getting ohio back to work. So, these will by and large apply to any company that will be opened up, under todays orders or future orders. And we have kind of done it for the health of employees, customers and tammy. Customers. Lead in responsibly getting ohio back to work. Protocols for all businesses. And have summarized it in a quote. No mask, no work, no service, no exception. Every employee will have to have a facial covering. Again, it doesnt have to be fancy, but a facial covering is important. Require face coverings for employees and clients and customers at all times. Two, conduct Daily Health Assessments by employers and employees. Self evaluate and determine if that person is fit. Three, good hygiene at all times, hand washing, social distancing. Four, clean and sanitize places throughout the workday and at the close of business. And over here, limit capacity to meet social distancing guidelines. At a minimum no more than 50 of the fire code, and it says here, use appointments where possible to limit congestion. Again, that depends on the nature, obviously, of the business. Take the following actions when a covid19 infection is identified. Immediately report employer customer to the local Health Department. Work to identify potentially exposed individuals to help facilitate appropriate communication, Contact Tracing, and shut down the shop floor for deep sanitation if possible. So, these are kind of the basic principles. Wanted to put on one page so people can see it, pretty easy to understand. So, these will all be up on our webpage by 5 00. 3 00, 3 00 i guess it will be up. It will be up on our webpage, and people can look at them. Now lets go directly to the manufacturing. Again, these are very, very consistent with what was on the more general slide that we just had over here. Let me just say a couple things. Again, basic principles. Distancing. People have to be kept apart. They cannot physically be kept apart, there has to be a screen or something to protect them. We have seen businesses, Manufacturing Companies that have been able to do every single one of these requirements. Many companies that are out there today are actually doing. And again, you will be able to look at these up on the webpage and any Manufacturing Company looking at that may 4 date, they will have all of that available. Let me also say on may 4, general offices will be able to be open. This is the chart for that, or it will be in a moment. And i will just call attention to several things on here. But to me, the most important is companies have found out that many of the members of their office can work from home and be just as efficient. We are asking companies as they go back into their office space to continue to do that as much as humanly possible. Continue to have people work from home. Again, we are all in this together, and what they do is going to allow us to move forward quicker as far as the opening of ohio. So, personnel work from home, if at all humanly possible. Let me go now to may 12. May 12, consumer, retail, and services. Again, this will be up on the webpage. It is pretty simple. It is one page. Let me call your attention to several things that are, in fact, up there. One, all employees will wear facial covering. The same thing will be true in regard to customers. So, we encourage every ohioan when out in public to wear a facial covering. We will not mandate that, but when a customer goes into a business, they will have to have that facial covering, because they will be dealing in a retail setting, and they will be dealing with the people who work there. And the thing that we have learned, that doctor acton has talked a lot about, several doctors have talked about, is that, really, when you put that on, facial covering, you are protecting the other person. So when two people do that, each one is protecting the other one. It is not a substitute for social distancing, but it is, as doctor acton has said, layering things on. The more things you do, the more protection you provide. This may be a little different, walking into a store, but
