After this week’s edition, the I-R staff planned to meet Tuesday afternoon to determine a course of action in case we have to “shelter in place.” Most of us have the ability to work from home — a resource we developed following our 2011 fire — so one way or another Ellsworth County can count on a newspaper.

Meanwhile, here are the most recent virus-related happenings —

• Ellsworth’s Kiwanis Club announced Monday night it plans to postpone its weekly Thursday morning meetings at the Ellsworth Steak House. The organization this past week also cancelled its annual Home and Garden Show planned for this weekend.

• The Kiwanis Club meeting decision came after Ellsworth Steak House owners Rick and Tina Davis said they plan to reduce hours and switch to take out orders only. The restaurant will be closed through today (Thursday) to make arrangements. The restaurant at Wilson’s Midland Railroad Hotel also has started curbside service.
