Stage 4.5 in place since the beginning of July restricts restaurants to 75 percent capacity and limits bars, nightclubs and other entertainment venues to 50 percent.

Indianapolis and county officials reinstated restrictions Thursday on businesses, gatherings and when schools can open for in-person instruction in response to increase of COVID-19 infections.

Indiana will extend its current capacity limits for restaurants and bars and other restrictions for at least another two weeks because of an increasing number of coronavirus cases across the state, Gov. Eric Holcomb said Wednesday.

Indiana was set to move into its final phase this weekend. But several COVID-19 metrics -- including higher percentages of positive tests and more hospitalizations -- are trending in the wrong direction.

Gov. Eric Holcomb announced Indiana will largely press pause on its reopening plan instead of moving to the final phase this weekend.

Indianapolis will take more steps to open the economy and join the state's phase four plan next week.

Stage 4 of the "Back on Track" plan allows groups of up to 250 people to gather. Retail stores no longer have capacity limits, though the state still urges proper social distancing.

The YMCA of Greater Indianapolis announced plans Wednesday to continue its phased reopening with eight of its Marion County Centers.
