INDIANAPOLIS — The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic began forcing numerous businesses to close, either permanently or temporarily, even before the governor issued a "stay-at-home" order.
We've been tracking some of the businesses across the state that have filed notices about closures and the hundreds of Hoosiers those closures are impacting. Beyond this list, thousands of other Hoosiers will remain at home over the next two weeks as part of Governor Eric Holcomb's "stay-at-home" executive order that begins March 26. The order is the latest effort by Gov. Holcomb to combat the spread of COVID-19 before it overwhelms health facilities and hospitals in the state.
