He announced at a coronavirus briefing in Columbus that health procedures that do not require an overnight stay can resume May 1 and businesses will begin opening on May 4, starting with manufacturing and construction jobs, and then layering in general offices and retail businesses. Gov. DeWine said a decision on reopening salons, gyms and restaurants would be announced later.
