ExploreSix months of coronavirus; where are we now?

Six months ago, Ohio came to a halt. Only 36 coronavirus cases were confirmed in the state and no deaths were reported. But Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, seeing the effects of COVID-19 elsewhere, shut down schools and businesses statewide.

Every Dayton-area employer is finding its own equilibrium in the new reality created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Workforces generally are smaller, but there are some comforting constants. Among them: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base remains the region and the state’s largest single site employer. That hasn’t changed, said Col. Patrick Miller, who was installed as Wright-Patterson’s commander June 12.

The base still has about 30,000 military and civilian employees, Miller said in his first meeting with the Dayton Daily News last week.
