In order to help reduce the possibility of transmission of COVID-19, Hardin Memorial Hospital will erect a triage tent outside the emergency department (ED) entrance.
The goal is to keep those who have flu-like symptoms separate from those who do not.
This is a proactive measure we are taking to be prepared in the event the process of outside triage becomes necessary.
It is NOT a walk-up site for COVID-19 screening.
How it will work…
When a patient comes to the ED for treatment of an injury or other reason, they will first go into the triage tent where they will be quickly screened.
Hardin County Leadership is proceeding online, according to Kathy Oliver, in charge of the program.
Hardin Leadership develops positive leaders within Hardin County by providing personal enrichment, expanding community networks, and recognizing future leaders.
She reports that the April 2 session is a virtual session and the May session will likely be modified also.
The leadership group meets monthly now through November.
Interstate 75 northbound in Findlay will be restricted to one lane on Wednesday, April 1, and Thursday, April 2, for beam setting over the railroad.
On both days, the restriction will begin at noon and continue until four beams are set.
The right lane of Interstate 75 northbound will close from the southern end of the project, just south of Harrison Street/county Road 144, to the Sandusky Street overpass, which is just south of the state Route 12 interchange.
Pardon our recent distracation. The Icon has a couple 15-minute interviews with ONU international students that we've not had a chance to post. Our intern, Liza Dyachuk, from Russia, conducted these in early March. We hope these students are able to continue to communicate with their family and we hope everyone is well.

Each Ada generation has something of it's own:
A blizzard
A flood
A stock market crash
A world war
Life before the internet
Going to school before doors were locked
A church fire
The list goes on.
Ada residents experiencing life in the spring of 2020 have something of their own – something to talk with their grandchildren about.
It's a virus that keeps people from shopping, from going to church, from going to school, to prom, graduation, funerals, Easter egg hunts, spring sports events, pancake breakfasts, the movies, to work, to the library, to Taveren 101. The list goes on.
Watch the Icon on Tuesday for an update on Ada schools and its distance learning program. Gov. DeWine announced today that schools in Ohio will remain in distance learning through at least May 1.
