Exercise, but don’t golf or play basketball
Gov. Mike DeWine has encouraged Ohioans to remain physically active despite the statewide stay-at-home order, but one popular pastime appears to be out for now. The Ohio Department of Health ruled Thursday that golf courses are non-essential businesses, meaning they must close through April 6. Also Thursday, Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley reminded residents that while the city has kept city parks open for people to walk through, playground equipment is off-limits and it is not permitted to play basketball.
While I don't play golf, I had been playing pickleball five days a week for the past two years. I stopped playing two weeks ago and will wait until the virus situation changes for me and others to be safe while playing a game.
