Regulatory agencies have resolved issues, Lt. Jon Husted said, and massages and tattoos and piercings can resume at the same time that hair salons reopen Friday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — During Tuesday's press conference, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted updated the state on two more businesses that will be allowed to reopen during the coronavirus pandemic. 

On Friday, massage businesses and tattoo services can resume, alongside the previously mentioned personal care services such as salons and barbershops. 

Outdoor recreation, camping, casinos/racinos, and fairs will be discussed later, the lieutenant governor said. The guidelines for those entities are currently being discussed in several different working groups.
