Memorial Day is a federal holiday to honor the men and women who died while serving in the military. Many individuals participate in parades, visit memorials or have family gatherings to honor their loved ones.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, these events may look a little different this year.

The Memorial Day parade in Springfield was canceled in April due to the expectation that Gov. Mike DeWine’s restriction of no more than 10 people gathering would last through May.

In Clark County, most restaurants will remain open, while most offices and services will be closed on Monday.
