Ohio Governor DeWine Gets Backlash
Monday, May 4, 2020

Columbus, OH - Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is continuing to receive backlash from protesters for his handling of the coronavirus crisis. As a "conservative Republican" he says he understands where protesters are coming from.

DeWine says that an order for people to wear face coverings while in stores was reversed last week because it “went too far.”
DeWine reversed the order Tuesday, adding that face coverings were strongly recommended, but would no longer be required.

He says people were "not going to accept the government telling them what to do.” The Republican governor said reopening Ohio is a “balancing” act between bringing the economy back while protecting people. He added that he will be prepared to take action should the situation worsen again.

The coronavirus is quickly becoming a political issue with many people protesting the stay-at-home order Governor DeWine just extended to May 29th.
