TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has a warning about COVID-19 and how the state is expecting a sharp increase in coronavirus cases over the Labor Day weekend, and into the weeks to come. “…They [White House Coronavirus Task Force] have a grave concern about Labor Day coming up,”.
Toledo-Lucas County Health Commissioner Eric Zgodzinski addressed the public during a COVID-19 briefing via Facebook. Zgodzinski said that normalcy won’t fully return once a vaccine is ready because distribution could take longer and not everyone will get it.
