Governor Eric Holcomb will this afternoon address the state regarding efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. Specific details on what will be announced were not released.

The address comes less than a week after Holcomb updated actions in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The governor signed executive orders to extend school closures until at least May 1 and expand unemployment insurance benefits, among other actions.

On Sunday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued a “Stay at Home” order for the state, which is currently effective until April 6.  At a news conference on Friday, Holcomb said there were no plans to issue a “shelter in place” order.
