DeWine said the spring shutdown produced unintended results.
“We saw child abuse reporting going down because teachers generally report abuse,” he said. “We saw a spike in mental health problems. We saw a spike in overdoses, we think because people took drugs alone and there was no one there to call 911.”
DeWine continued to push for individuals to slow down the virus spread.
“That’s why we put an emphasis on personal responsibility,” DeWine said. “The big spread is coming from what people do in their personal lives when interacting with friends and family outside of their household.”
