The curfew, meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus in Ohio, will be shortened…beginning today…as a result of falling hospitalization numbers. The Ohio Department of Health says 2,944 people were hospitalized with the coronavirus Wednesday, down from 2,964 on Tuesday. The number of coronavirus patients on intensive care units and on ventilators also continues to fall. As a result, Ohio’s 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew will be shortened to 11 p.m. to 5 a.m….now. The curfew could be eliminated if, over the next few weeks, hospitalization numbers fall below 2,500 over seven days. During curfew hours Ohioans are prohibited from travel outside their home with exceptions for work, grocery shopping, medical appointments and other necessary travel.
