Gov. Mike DeWine said the state health director will order all bars and restaurants to close at 9 p.m. tonight in Ohio.

DeWine said he came to the decision after hearing from people around the state on Saturday night who were concerned about crowded bars. He said he was concerned with St. Patrick’s Day coming up Tuesday that people would ignore warnings and go out to bars.

The governor encouraged restaurants to offer carry out or delivery service, but said they would not be allowed to have people congregating in them.

“I can’t tell you how sorry I am. Our goal is for everyone to get through this. What we wish is that next St. Patrick’s Day everyone will be there and they’ll have an opportunity to celebrate,” DeWine said.

4. this is a ballsy move...

but hopefully it will pay off, our confirmed cases in Ohio are rising quickly.
my son and husband are both in the biz, so there is some anxiety. There is a plan for unemployment for all affected, no wait, now need to look for other employment... hopefully that comes thru for all.
