Ohio's quick response to its first confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus was months in the making.
“This is certainly no ordinary time," DeWine said Monday, when the state's first three cases of coronavirus were confirmed. "It is important for us to take aggressive action to protect Ohioans. The actions that we take now will, in fact, save lives. That we are sure of.”On Monday, DeWine, 73, was running over an hour late to a news conference about a mental health pilot program. When he finally took the podium, he was flanked by Lt. Gov.
In some ways, DeWine has been preparing for this moment for much longer. Acton was the last cabinet member DeWine selected in 2019, wanting to make sure he had"the right person." Acton, 54, earned her medical degree from Northeastern Ohio University, completed her internship and residency and then earned a master’s degree in public health. She spent seven years teaching global public health at Ohio State University.
