COLUMBUS, Ohio — If it's 2 p.m, it's time for Gov. Mike DeWine.
DeWine hosted another COVID-19 press conference on Thursday with updates on the state's vaccination rollout.
Here are some of the topics discussed during the press conference, which also featured Lt. Gov. Jon Husted...
VACCINATION UPDATE
Ohio's vaccination process has been a primary focus of these press conferences for the last few weeks -- and Thursday was no different. Ohio is expected to begin vaccinating some in group 1B next week (those 80 and older).
Earlier this week, Gov. DeWine said the state will also post information online about what providers are being allocated COVID-19 vaccinations for next week. It's a tool that Ohioans will be able to search by zip code and county.

PLANNING FOR PROTESTS
Although this is not related to COVID-19, Gov. DeWine will likely highlight what he discussed earlier Thursday morning regarding the state's plan for potential protests this weekend in Columbus. Gov. DeWine said the Ohio National Guard will have a "significant presence" in case of protests at the state capitol. Here's that full press conference:
