We can set realistic goals that we are within reach for lifting health orders.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor DeWine announced that when Ohio reaches 50 cases per 100,000 people for two weeks, all health orders will be lifted. Cases per 100,000 people for a two-week period is a measurement that Governor DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health have utilized since early in the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor DeWine also detailed the success that Ohio has seen recently in the COVID-19 pandemic. Ohio&#8217;s stay-at-home order and curfew have been lifted, and restaurants, bars and gyms are open. In February, Ohio vaccinated over 200,000 educators for students to return to in-person learning. As of today, nearly 95 percent of Ohio&#8217;s K-12 students have returned to school for in-person learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Governor DeWine&#8217;s entire address, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTAzMDQuMzYzODg4MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5vaGlvY2hhbm5lbC5vcmcvdmlkZW8vZ292ZXJub3ItbWlrZS1kZXdpbmUtMy00LTIwMjEtc3RhdGV3aWRlLWFkZHJlc3Mtb24tY29yb25hdmlydXMifQ.UbON6SoOR25DbKoIkuev1umkhwuJItsfQfL10T56gdY\/s\/953903915\/br\/99460954219-l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ohiochannel.org<\/a>&nbsp;or read his prepared remarks at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTAzMDQuMzYzODg4MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvbnRlbnQuZ292ZGVsaXZlcnkuY29tL2F0dGFjaG1lbnRzL09IT09ELzIwMjEvMDMvMDQvZmlsZV9hdHRhY2htZW50cy8xNzEzODcyL0FzJTIwUHJlcGFyZWQlMjBTdGF0ZXdpZGUlMjBBZGRyZXNzJTIwT25lJTIwWWVhciUyMFBhbmRlbWljJTIwQW5uaXZlcnNhcnkucGRmIn0.gBJ6AKBK9HZqK9f6_kNIhjFrTje1qjc6wvLM6VEFVb4\/s\/953903915\/br\/99460954219-l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coronavirus.ohio.gov<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submitted information COLUMBUS &#8212; In a statewide address to Ohioans Thursday evening, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine urged Ohioans to remain committed to following COVID-19 safety practices as Ohio cases trend downward, and detailed the measurement needed to lift all Ohio Department of Health orders.\u00a0 &#8220;This has been a very tough year for Ohioans, yet we [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-140812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-03 17:30:25","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140812\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
