As a result, the state has moved closer to its reopening goal.
Gov. Mike DeWine promised the state can reopen when it reports 50 cases per 100,000 people over two weeks. Two weeks ago, the rate rose to 200 cases per 100,000 four times the state goal. Last week, it decreased to 185.8 cases per 100,000.
