Snip--"COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced Wednesday that nursing home residents will be limited to one visitor per day as the state continues to take steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

“We are issuing an order limiting visitors to one per day per resident,” DeWine said. There must be a single point of entry – and everyone will be screened for temperature/potential illness. Visitor logs must be kept.”
