COLUMBUS – Mayor Ginther has issued a executive order that will make wearing a mask in public mandatory beginning tomorrow in Columbus.
The mayor said that he will be rolling out rules soon. We will update them here, but may reflect what Dayton Mayor has already issued.
I commend @BexleyMayor and @nanwhaley for ordering facial coverings. We are seriously considering doing the same in #Columbus.
