On Friday, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton signed three orders, including guidance on reopening gyms, conducting sports and the use of schools for use as day camps.

Acton also signed an order last week partially rescinding the April 30 “Stay Safe Ohio Order.”

DeWine is not scheduled to hold a news briefing today because of the Memorial Day holiday and is scheduled to speak 2 p.m. Tuesday.

This week’s scheduled openings include:

• Tuesday — bowling alleys, miniature golf, and batting cages, gyms, fitness centers and pools as long as they follow proper protocols; skills training for all sports, including football and basketball. Tournaments, games and competitions for contact sports still are prohibited.

• Sunday — Day camps and daycares can reopen.

• June 1 — Wedding venues and banquet halls in Ohio can resume business with restrictions.

Guidelines for the reopenings can be found at coronavirus.ohio.gov.

DeWine appeared Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where he praised the people of Ohio for doing a great job for the past two months.

“We’re asking that everyone wear the masks and keep their distance and we will be able to do two things at once, keep everybody safe and open our economy,” he said.
