Background:

On May 9, 2021, in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) implemented permanent transitional pandemic rules to ensure that children continued to be safe in child care settings. These rules reflected guidance from the Ohio Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The transitional approved day camp pandemic rule was to be in effect until the Governor of Ohio rescinded the state of emergency and/or directed ODJFS to return to full child day camp requirements. The state of emergency was rescinded on June 18, 2021.

The following rule will be archived and removed from the child care manual on July 30, 2023

Rescinded Rule:

5101:2-18-03.1 "Transitional pandemic requirements for approved child day camps"
