GOSHEN, Ind.— Goshen Mayor Jeremy Stutsman signed an executive order Thursday requesting that all non-essential city employees stay at home.

Starting Monday, April 6, all city employees not providing essential services will stay at home and isolate themselves for two weeks.

Department heads have been instructed to designate an emergency operations team within their department. All other employees will be asked to stay home April 6 through April 20.
