The ‘stay at home’ order for Indianapolis and Marion County has been extended through May 1, the mayor’s office announced Wednesday.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Dr. Virginia Caine, director of the Marion County Public Health Department, extended the order, which had been set to expire April 6. The order includes a “warning” travel status, the highest level of local travel emergency, and continues the order to close all non-essential business activity.
As of Thursday, 78 Hoosiers have lost their lives to COVID-19.
“COVID-19 has been one of the most significant public health challenges our community has ever faced,” Caine said. “We all want to resume a life that includes our favorite activities and time together with family and friends. By strictly adhering to these stay-at-home orders, we lessen the burden on our health care system and protect those who are most at-risk for complications from the virus. I urge everyone to do their part to slow the spread as we all deal with the effects of COVID-19.”
