Warmer Weather, Gray Skies, and So Far No Coronavirus in Galion

Here it is Friday, March 20, 2020 and the air is warm and springlike outside - 66 degrees as I write this, to be precise. The sky's looking pretty gray and it's windy, but the warm weather is a mood booster (for me anyway) in spite of the gloomy skies.

Galion Coronavirus Update

Checking back in with an update on the two Galionites who were recently tested for Coronavirus.

The tests results for these two individuals came back negative, according to an article in the Bucyrus Telegraph Forum. This is such great news for the people involved and for the community, though realistically, the virus is likely to make an appearance in the Galion area sometime soon.

Precautions are still needed, in that we're still being asked to keep a safe distance from others, wash hands frequently and use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't an option, and not touch our faces. (Good, common-sense advice for avoiding disease any time really.)

Recent Coronavirus Closings

Since my last update post, Ohio has placed a few more bans due to coronavirus, in hopes of stopping its spread - including hair salons, tattoo parlors, nail salons, and the BMV - except for CDL-related transactions.

The BMV closing for coronavirus was a surprise, because I haven't seen any updates about what people who need to renew driver's licenses, who need first-time permits and licenses, and those who need to get State IDs are supposed to do - or if affected drivers will be allowed to drive without being ticketed until the BMV reopens.

Galion Weekend Weather Forecast

So, as we head into what looks to be a dull weekend because pretty much everything is closed, I find myself glad I'm a writer because I have plenty to do - and wondering what everyone else is doing. It's pretty muddy from teh recent rain, so yard work would be challenging, though the weekend weather is predicted to be pleasant - a touch chilly with a high of 35 degrees Saturday and 46 degrees on Sunday, but no rain forecasted until Monday.
