INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Monday was the first night of looser coronavirus restrictions in the county, but there was no rush on business just yet.
The dinner crowd was a little sparse, as expected at The Tap. After all, it is a Monday.
Still, closer to midnight, when most other places along Massachusetts Avenue have shut down, Chris Martin, vice president of operations at the bar and restaurant, said it’s a different vibe.
“Almost every night, we’ve had to go on some kind of wait,” he said.
There are two big changes in effect as of Monday for bars and restaurants in Marion County.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) The Noblesville Fire Department says the Homebound Hoosier EMS Vaccine Administration Program will help residents in the area who are unable to leave their homes get vaccinated.
The program is a cooperative public health effort within the state of Indiana.
“It’s really important that we are able to get to those people,” said Noblesville Fire Department Chief of EMS James Macky.
The fire department says they’re teaming up with the Hamilton County Health Department to reach these at-risk or hard-to-reach people.
“The thing that came to mind is the fact that we have elderly people within our communities that may be homebound,” said Macky. “They can’t get out to actually get a vaccination and so the question started to come up, ‘How do we handle that? How do we get to those people? ”
