INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has ordered residents to remain at home except for essential errands in an effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus, mirroring similar orders in other states.

Holcomb said Monday that the order still allows the state's 6.8 million residents to go outside to perform essential tasks, such as to buy groceries and medicine, and makes exemptions for employees of crucial industries.

Beginning Tuesday, state government personnel will reduce staff to only the absolutely essential workforce level, WXIN reports. Non-essential state business will have to wait. Law enforcement officials will not issue citations for expired registrations or driver’s licenses.

State government offices will close to in-person public activity until April 7. That includes the Government Center in Indianapolis, other offices in the state and BMV branches. State employees will work from home when possible. Safety public services will continue.

4. We have

been doing this - work and home. I can now work remotely and only go to the building once a week to ensure all is safe and get the mail. Husband will now work from home (or just be off) after tomorrow. We've been pretty pleased to see a marked decrease in cars out and about.

All good in my opinion - everyone needs to let the orange ass know he's wrong.
