INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Eric Holcomb has just announced that the state will remain at Stage 4.5 for “at least” another two weeks due to an increasing number of positive cases and hospitalizations.

Indiana will keep capacity limits in place for restaurants, bars and entertainment venues due to worries about a possible increase in coronavirus cases across the state.

The state will also continue its current 250-person limit on social gatherings. Indiana has been in its current stage since June 12; restaurants have been allowed 75% capacity in their dining rooms, while bars, nightclubs, bowling alleys, museums and amusement parks have been open at half capacity.
