Spring break starts Monday for all Ohio schools.

(Columbus, Oh.) – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has issued another order in effort to combat Coronavirus (COVID-19).

DeWine announced Thursday afternoon that all Ohio schools will be on a three-week spring break due to the Coronavirus. The three-week spring break will begin on Monday, March 16.

That includes auditoriums, stadiums, arenas, large conference rooms, meeting halls, cafeterias, or any other confined indoor or outdoor space. 

The order does not include normal operations at airports, bus and train stations, medical facilities, shopping malls, shopping centers or other spaces where 100 or more people may be in transit.
