Holcomb Extends "Take Out Only" Order For Indiana Restauraunts
Wednesday, April 1, 2020


In response to an increasing number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in Indiana, Governor Eric Holcomb extended the executive order banning dine-in service at restaurants and bars across the state on Tuesday.

The executive order has been extended through April 6th after the initial order was set to expire yesterday. He made the announcement during a daily COVID-19 response news conference in Indianapolis.

The announcement came just hours after state health officials announced the deaths of 14 more people in Indiana from coronavirus-related illnesses, increasing the state’s virus death toll to 49 as its confirmed cases surged past 2,000. The Indiana State Department of Health said Tuesday that Indiana’s number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, grew by 374 to 2,159, following corrections to the previous day’s total and is expected to climb even more when the updated totals are released later this morning.
