Ohio, Maryland and New Mexico have each ordered statewide school closures as a result of the coronavirus crisis sweeping the nation.

The closings in the Buckeye State will last from Monday until April 3, according to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.

Dewine’s order applies to all public, community and private K-12 schools in the state, he said in a statement. The governor said during the closure period, schools should educate through alternative methods.

In Maryland, the measure, which includes all public schools, begins Monday and lasts through March 27, the state’s superintendent of schools, Dr. Karen Salmon, said at a Thursday press conference.

“It is crucial that we take immediate measures to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in school communities around the State,” Salmon said.

Similar to Ohio, Salmon advised schools to develop and execute substitute measures to educate children while buildings are closed.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham tweeted Thursday that an official announcement will be made Friday closing the state’s K-12 public schools for three weeks starting Monday.
