The reason I ask is because the Governor of Indiana just issued a "stay at home order", and after reviewing the essential business list, it appears that we are not on it. We do not have any healthcare or government accounts. What are you guys doing?

Re: Are Ohio/Indiana copier businesses employees still going to work?
Being in IL we also have this law as of Saturday at 5 PM We do have some government & medical agencies still open. The way I take it if you supply products to your customer even if your customer is working remotely then you are a essential vendor. Just my take on it after reading the IL document.
SPRINGFIELD (WEEK) -- Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker issued the stay-at-home order in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic starting 5 p.m. March 21 and ending April 7.
At Pritzker's daily press briefing, he said residents will still be able to go to grocery stores, hospitals, pharmacies, and other essential businesses.
Here's a full list of what those businesses are:

I suspect we fall under the critical trades paragraph. Here in Oregon, our governor just announced this policy. I have not seen our official list.Comment
