You can see that Ohio’s fast action could make a huge difference and we have to continue.

Dr. Amy Acton has issued an order so that the State of Ohio can track all ventilators, CPAC and BPAC machines in the state of Ohio. All people with any inventory must report their numbers every Wednesday by 5 pm.

Battelle, with the help of Ohio State University, has come up with a rapid COVID-19 test. Currently they can process 200 tests a day, this will take it up to 1,000 test a day.

Ohio EPS has issued a stay on water cut-offs, if your water was cut off after January 1, you can call and get it turned back on at no additional charge.

Many offices that deal with Mental Health, and doctors dealing with various forms have mostly remained open, but if not, check out what is available from coronavirus.ohio.gov. Everyone should take a walk, listen to the birds, and clear our minds. It is a great way to recharge. Also be sure to check on friends and neighbors who might be cut off through this stay at home order.

If you know anyone contemplating suicide have them call - 1.800.273.8255
