State laws regarding face masks and openings are constantly changing. Below are resources to review Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana state laws and their corresponding face mask/opening laws. Please consult with your attorney for the latest state and industry specific laws.  

Face Mask Requirements

Ohio Requirement Face coverings required for employers and employees; the guidance lists exceptions. Face coverings are recommended for all people (including clients/customers) who can safely wear them.
Kentucky Requirement Businesses must provide PPE to employees and ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that their employees wear a cloth mask. A business need not require an employee to wear a mask when masking would create a serious health or safety hazard to the employee or when the employee is working alone in an enclosed space. Businesses must ensure that employees whose job duties include touching items often touched by others (e.g., credit cards/cash, paper, computers) wear gloves that are regularly replaced.
Indiana Requirement Businesses should require employees to wear face coverings and should consider requiring customers to wear face coverings
