DeWine: “We’re working on fairly sophisticated plan”...to get things moving along
To talk about where we go once it’s over
Says “we’re in the middle of the ball game. It’s not over.”

Acton: Says they’re going to start putting out more trend data on indicators they’re monitoring to figure out when they can start lifting social distancing restrictions
Acton: Addresses the shouting that can be heard from the briefing
It’s the sound of protesters

Acton: Says a 14-day decrease of cases is a good indication that the virus is tappering off
Acton says it’s possible to see a squiggly line of spikes instead of the gradual spike upwards we’re seeing now
DeWine on the protesters: They have every right to be outside and to voice their opinions
Says his job is to be upfront with Ohioans about what’s going on
“I’m asking you to hang in there...if we don’t it’s going to cost a lot of lives” and create a bigger problem down the road

DeWine: “My assurance to them today is that we’re not going to keep this going one day longer than we have to”
DeWine says the Stay At Home order excluded infringing on Free Speech so this protest is not breaking the order
DeWine adds that he encourages people to try to stay safe
“I know you’re shouting...try not to shout on each other”
