Ohio Will Allow Wedding Receptions Of Up To 300 People Starting June 1

Ohio will allow wedding and banquet receptions of up to 300 people to be held again starting June 1, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted announced yesterday, Cleveland.com reports. The move is the latest in a series of steps by Gov. Mike DeWine’s administration to roll back social-distancing rules set up weeks ago to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
