Ohio s restrictions and guidelines around COVID-19 have changed tremendously since the governor issued his first public health orders last March. As part of WOSU’s A Year Of COVID series, we asked readers what questions they still had about the pandemic and the state s response.
Reader Adam Leeds sent in this question:
Does Ohio still have a ban on mass gatherings?
The short answer is yes. Ohio may have ended its stay-at-home order and canceled the nightly curfew, but the ban on “mass gatherings” remains in place.
Under the most recent public health order from the Ohio Department of Health, Ohioans are prohibited from holding “all public and private gatherings of greater than 10 people” outside of their home or place of residence.
