Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati was one of the first to announce its new operating hours once the curfew was lifted. However, in late January, the governor softened the hours permitting the businesses to operate until 11 p.m. When the curfew was implemented on November 19, it initially called for people in Ohio to stay home and for non-essential businesses around the state to stay closed between 10 p.m. Since the effort to slow down the virus was successful, Ohio businesses could resume normal hours of operation. Thursday marks the 84th day since the curfew was implemented by the governor as a result of growing number of Covid-19 cases.
Mike DeWine lifted the overnight curfew in the state, which led to the reopening of many restaurants, bars and casinos.
