August 4, 2020
During his daily press conference Tuesday afternoon, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said that all students returning to school will have to wear a mask or face covering.
This policy will cover all students at public and private K-12 schools in Ohio, over the age of 2.

Exceptions to the policy include:
- Those students under the age of 2
- Those students who can’t remove their mask without assistant
- Those students who are undergoing treatment that mask are not recommended
- Those students with severe autism
- Those students with facial deformities

well since it is pro en by a number of being in hospital with horrible respuratory infections from breathing the air in mask over and over that is in mask..the whole ideas is inane. The checkout clerks do not wear gloves and touch any thing at all..so if your gonna get it your gonna get it. Kids are very prone to colds, uppef respiratory infections etc….so it really does not matter. As far as gloves. They would have to be changed on average of 8 times a day and cashires quite a bit more. Use what narrow mind you havd and look at the bigger picture!

Suggestion to wear masks in hallways and lines when you can’t social distance. Desks should be set up for social distancing . it is crazy to have them wear masks all day probably cause some brain damage and slow down the learning.
