Indiana will end 2020 in a state of emergency as Holcomb again extends public health order

The state of Indiana will close out 2020 in a state of emergency.

Executive Order 20-02, which was first issued by Holcomb on March 6 alongside the announcement of the state's first confirmed case, declared a public health emergency to ensure the state receives additional funding if needed.
