Monroe County Health Officials are moving the county into stage two of Governor Eric Holcomb’s plans for reopening the state’s economy.
The order is effective Saturday, May 16.
The county will have a few alterations from the governor’s plan, opting to remain in phase two until May 31 - a week longer than most of the state.
Dining and personal services can reopen immediately Saturday under the local order at 50 percent capacity, rather than waiting a week from when the order goes into effect.
The order strongly recommends people continue working remotely if possible and that places of worship not hold indoor services until June.
As part of the governor’s stage two, all businesses must have a COVID-19 prevention plan before opening and mass gatherings are limited to 25 people or less.
