Notes

The governor.ohio.gov page returns HTTP 200 but is a JavaScript-rendered portal whose text does not contain the announcement when printed headlessly; the ODH order PDFs at coronavirus.ohio.gov/static/publicorders/ now redirect to odh.ohio.gov; the Wayback Machine returned 'Temporarily Offline' and 503 throughout the session. The orders' existence, date and content are established from the Director's own recital in the Stay Safe Ohio Order of Apr. 30, 2020 (Ex. OH-019, p. 13 and para. 13(d)-(e), listing 'Adult Day Support or Vocational Habilitation Services in a Congregate Setting' and 'Older Adult Day Care Services and Senior Centers' among businesses to remain closed), the reopening order (Ex. OH-101) and the rescission order (Ex. OH-050 para. 5: 'The Second Amended Director's Order on Adult Day Support Services and Vocational Habilitation Services signed March 17, 2021 is rescinded'; paras. 6-7 senior centers and adult day care).
