It was created on Friday, March 27, 2020.

This photograph, taken from the Linworth Road overpass of Interstate 270, faces west along the interstate. This area is usually heavily-traveled, but at the time that this photo was taken on March 27, 2020, slowdowns were nowhere in sight.

Worthington's normally busy streets and public places were quiet during this time due to Ohio's historic stay at home order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Issued by Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted and Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton M.D. MPH, the order went into effect on Monday, March 23, 2020 at 11:59 pm. The order closed nonessential businesses, restricted gatherings, ordered all residents to stay in their homes except for certain exempt activities, and limited travel. The order was fully lifted on May 19, replaced by strong recommendations for social distancing.

The original is in a private collection.
