Throughout the pandemic, most people and most businesses in Ohio have done things right, by wearing masks and ensuring that safety guidelines are followed. We are grateful for that. It is those actions that kept the virus from spreading uncontrollably in the spring and summer.
Most retail businesses have done a good job providing a safe place for their employees to work and for their customers to shop. However, it is clear there are some businesses where mask-wearing is lacking.
We know that masks work. It is the easiest, most cost-effective way to limit the spread of COVID-19. Every retail employee has the right to work in an environment that is as safe as can be, which means all customers must wear masks.
Further, each Ohioan who goes out to shop has the right to know that every store they enter will be safe and that everyone they encounter in that store will be wearing a mask. Our mask order, issued on July 23rd, says just that.
