[take pkg incue: heading back to outcue: news 10 duration:1:25] pk} heading back to school has been the subject of much debate in recent days.

Many hoosiers are conflicted with where indiana stands when it comes to covid-19.

I spoke with indiana senator todd young and asked him his thoughts on these issues amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Senator young says he lives in central indiana.... and the hoosiers that he's spoken with are extremely eager to go back to work and send their children to school in the fall.

He believes hoosiers are ready to resume some sense of normalcy... while also staying vigilant in the midst of a pandemic that doesn't seem to be going away.

I asked him if he believes indiana has taken a step back after what governor eric holcomb announced on wednesday.

Senator young believes governor holcomb is being cautious and careful... but hoosiers should have their attention on getting back to normal.

"it seems to me that that that's what he has done with this mask directive because he's indicated that there won't be a strict enforcement of it, and i think, at least the hoosiers i've spoken with are very comfortable with that focus on getting back to work and back to school."

Senator young also gave an update on his restart act.

Which is meant to provide mmore flexibility and relief for american businesses.
