Travel restrictions remain across our area

All of our area counties have now reduced their travel restrictions to an orange travel watch level.

That includes Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson and Shelby counties.

Under a travel watch, conditions are said to be threatening to the safety of the public. Only essential travel, such as to and from work or in emergency situations, is recommended, and emergency action plans should be implemented by businesses, schools, government agencies and other organizations.
