How Cuyahoga County Is Responding To The Coronavirus Crisis

City Club Vitural Forum with Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish.
City Club Vitural Forum with Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish.

During the past couple of weeks, Governor Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton have signed a number of orders to curb the spread of coronavirus, including a “stay-at-home" order that took effect at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 23.

The orders, while integral to preventing the spread of the coronavirus, have impacted the state's economy and social services.

The County Executive will provide updates on how Cuyahoga County is responding to the crisis, including the critical need for personal protective equipment (PPEs) and a call out to the medical community (dentists/veterinarians) for help and information on the measures being taken at the County jail, the Department of Children and Family Services, and others.
