On March 22, 2020, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton, had issued a director’s order requiring all Ohioans to stay in their homes to combat the spread of COVID-19. The order went into effect just before midnight on March 23, 2020, and is currently set to last until May 1, 2020. The notable exceptions to the director's order include individuals and entities that are deemed to be engaged in “essential” activities, businesses, and services, including the attendant travel that is necessary to effectuate them. Any person or business found to be violating the director’s order may be criminally prosecuted.
On April 10, 2020 Fakhry Daoud, 43, was cited by officers of the Cleveland Police Department for violating the stay at home order. The citation Daoud received alleges a violation of Ohio Revised Code § 3701.352, which is cleverly titled “Violations Prohibited."
The statute reads as follows: "No person shall violate any rule the director of health or department of health adopts or any order the director or department of health issues under this chapter to prevent a threat to the public caused by a pandemic, epidemic, or bioterrorism event."
The violation is a second degree misdemeanor, punishable by a jail sentence of up to 90 days and a fine of up to $750.
Hair products are not essential. Daoud's arraignment is currently scheduled for 8:30 A.M. on June 19, 2020.
