Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said it was “troubling” to see the large crowds of mostly unmasked patrons this past weekend at the Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area at The Banks in Cincinnati. I saw the picture of the Dora a few days ago, and look, it s troubling, the governor said during his statewide COVID-19 briefing on Thursday.
DeWine said it is some relief that the Dora is outside, but “it would not be a place where I would advise my family to go. It would not be a place where I would go.”
The Dora at The Banks spans 85 acres of Downtown Cincinnati from the Heritage Bank Center (formerly US Bank Arena) to Paul Brown Stadium and from Mehring Way to Second Street.
