INDIANAPOLIS  – At a press conference Friday Governor Eric Holcomb announced the extension of the state’s stay-at-home order for two more weeks.

The state’s number of coronavirus-related deaths climbed to 102 when 24 new deaths were reported Friday. The anticipated illness peak is still weeks away.

The stay at home order was issued March 25 and was set to expire Tuesday.

Holcomb continues to urge residents to avoid unnecessary trips outside their home and to remain at least six feet from those they don’t live with to help stem the virus spread.

There are now over 3,400 residents infected according to the Indiana State Department of Health.
