Child care centers across Ohio are allowed to return to normal class sizes.

Two weeks ago, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced two options for facilities, keep the class sizes limited with an added subsidy or return to full class size.

Child Care centers have been back in operation since the end of May. The only thing that changes is that they’re allowed to start accepting more children and resume care at full capacity.

As centers fully reopen, staff and children 10 and older are required to wear masks. Daycare facilities are also required to sanitize regularly and take symptom and temperature checks daily.

DeWine said he will continue to monitor the situation and any cases in students or staff must be reported to local health departments.
