Remember:

1️⃣ This is a marathon, not a sprint. We are in it for the long-haul. As Ohioans, we need to know that we're not going to get through this quickly.

2️⃣ It's quite complex to stay safe and get the economy moving at the same time, but your peers are determining the #ResponsibleRestartOhio best practices.

3️⃣ There is still a lot that we don't know about #COVID19. We still have a lot to learn.

4️⃣ As we reopen the economy, the risk is up. The more contacts we have, the more risk there is. We should expect that.

5️⃣ We have control over ourselves. #Ohio has done an AMAZING job. You are doing better than every single state around us. Where we go from here is so very important. Continue social distancing. Wear facial coverings. These choices will determine if we can do this or not.

It's a gamble. We're on a road that has never been traveled before in #Ohio. It's a road with danger signs on it. The danger is that we relax and pull back. That we say "Ok, things are better, we don't need to distance."

If we relax and take things for granted, things will not go the way we want them to go. We don't want to see a spike and be forced to decide if we pull back again on the economy. What we all do today will determine where this state goes. This is all in our hands.
