Published on

No reported positive cases of COVID-19 in Clinton County.

The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today reported 5 new deaths and 106 new positive cases of COVID-19, bringing to 365 the number of Hoosiers diagnosed through ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private laboratories. Twelve Hoosiers have now died.

A total of 2,931 tests have been reported to ISDH to date, up from 1,960 on Monday.

Marion County had the most new cases, at 51. The complete list of counties with cases is included in the ISDH COVID-19 dashboard at www.coronavirus.in.gov, which will be updated daily at 10 a.m. Cases are listed by county of residence. Private lab reporting may be delayed and will be reflected in the map and count when results are received at ISDH.

The dashboard also has been updated to remove a previously counted case in Hancock County that was erroneously reported to ISDH as a positive and to shift the county of residence for three others, giving Brown County its first case, moving one case from Hancock to Hamilton County and moving a Wayne County case to Fayette County.

Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana’s Retail Store Sales Floors Will Be Closed To Shoppers

Published on

Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana’s Retail Store sales floors will be closed to shoppers, effective Friday, March 20, and until further notice.

We will continue to accept donations during limited hours of 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday-Saturday, and 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Sunday.

This situation is unlike anything our community has ever faced. Our first concern is the well-being of our employees, many of whom came to work for Goodwill because of an employment barrier that made finding a job elsewhere difficult, if not impossible.

The inability to operate our Retail sales floors has a significant impact on our entire organization. Over the next week, we are building a plan on how we can best move forward in the best interests of our employees and all those whom we serve. We are working with affected employees to help them access information on their health and wellness benefits, while proactively working to reduce or remove barriers to any additional services they may need.

We urge Hoosiers to continue donating their unwanted items in the coming weeks. Goodwill associates will unload items from cars, without our donors having to exit their vehicles. Donors are also welcome to park and bring items to the donation door, while maintaining sufficient distance from Goodwill employees and each other.

Thank you for your support for Goodwill. Together, we will continue to achieve our mission of helping to change lives every day by empowering people to increase their independence and reach their potential. We will continue to post updates at goodwillindy.org.
