The number of COVID-19 cases has been rising of late, but so has the vaccination rate. Most adult Ohioans have the capability of getting their vaccine, and many have been fully vaccinated, in that they have already had their second shot.

Governor Mike DeWine joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to talk about the latest numbers and the rates of vaccination, which have been encouraging. However, he still maintains Ohioans need to keep masking up and keeping the measures going in order to get back to some normalcy. By using sports terminology, DeWine says the mask is the defense and the vaccine is the offense.

The governor has had to balance the health measure side with economics for the last 13 months, and he sees a light at the end of the tunnel. Restaurants have seen an increase in diners, and DeWine believes Ohio will see a nice summer if everything goes to plan.
