COLUMBUS — Gov. Mike DeWine announced during the state coronavirus briefing Thursday that Trumbull County has been downgraded to Level 2 (orange) on the state's advisory map.

"We certainly hope people in Trumbull County will continue to wear masks," DeWine said.

Only residents of counties in Level 3 (red) are required to wear masks in public, per the state's order issued last week.

Trumbull County joins Mahoning County at Level 2 on the map. Columbiana County remains at Level 1 (yellow).
