Gov. Eric Holcomb will move Indiana into Stage 4 of his detailed, five-stage reopening plan on Friday, two days earlier than planned.
The fourth stage brings new options for Hoosiers, including the ability to resume work at office buildings and bar seating reopening at 50% capacity.
However, some counties and cities may set more strict local rules. Indianapolis, which has been opening at a slower pace than the rest of the state, is expected to announce its Stage 4 plans Thursday. Where businesses reopen, the governor emphasized that Hoosiers should continue to wear masks and follow social distance rules.
Elkhart and LeGrange counties have seen an increased number of cases, Indiana health commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said, though she said they may continue to move forward in reopening.
