(INDIANAPOLIS) – Indiana bars and restaurants will be closed to dine in business for a little while longer.

On Tuesday Governor Eric Holcomb signed an Executive Order that requires restaurants, bars and nightclubs to stay closed to dine in patrons until April 6 at 11:59 PM. They may continue to provide take out and delivery services.

Holcomb says he expects those establishments to comply with the directive for the safety of Hoosiers in their communities, without the need to call for enforcement measures.

However, the State and local boards of health, along with the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission have been directed by the Governor to take all available administrative and enforcement actions against these businesses that continue to offer in house dining services, which is a violation of Holcomb's order.

Holcomb also signed an Executive Order that eases government operations including permitting electronic notary services to remotely review and approve documents.
