Ohio's extended stay-at-home order began will last through at least May first. The coronavirus pandemic is no short-term crisis. And while social distancing, cloth masks, frequent hand washing, and quarantines are meant to protect our health and that of others, there's still a concern about tending to our mental health as we become more isolated from each other. We'll get insights from the state's director of mental health and addiction services. Later, the pandemic's impact on domestic violence -- as sheltering at home increases the vulnerability of those in abusive relationships. Plus, the latest from Columbus.
