INDIANAPOLIS — The City of Indianapolis moved to Phase 3 in its COVID-19 reopening plan, starting June 1.
“The data has continued to point in the right direction, and my thanks go out to all Indianapolis residents who have followed the guidelines and done their part to slow the spread of COVID-19,” said Mayor Hogsett.
The June 1 move into Phase 3 includes the following:
• Restaurants may serve at 50% total capacity indoor and outdoor, so long as staff continue wearing PPE and patrons can keep 6 feet of distance from other tables.
• Shopping malls and retail can increase to 75% of capacity with continued social distancing.
• Public gatherings are capped at 50 individuals.
• Salons may re-open by appointment only, provided PPE is worn and other social distancing measures are met.
• Fitness centers may open at 50% capacity; community pools may also open at 50% capacity with a cap of 100 people total
Houses of worship resumed indoor service at 50% capacity on May 29, provided congregants maintain six feet of distance and wear a face covering to decrease the spread of the virus.
Playgrounds, movie theaters, performance venues, bowling allies, museums, and indoor play places must remain closed until later phases.
Additionally, the City of Indianapolis launched indy.gov/masks, which gives access to a free face covering to residents unable to procure them on their own. Businesses seeking face coverings and other PPE for their employees can participate in the RESTART program by going to response.indychamber.com/restart.
