Police, firefighters, and EMS workers are some of those deemed 'essential workers.'
They'll continue to work during the 'stay at home' order.
Many things have come to a halt during the coronavirus pandemic.
One thing that never stops is emergencies.
What has changed though, is how they respond to these emergencies.
Chief Jeff Fisher at the Terre Haute Fire Department said they had a meeting to go over these changes.
The biggest take away is that a fire truck will now only be sent out with an ambulance on a call if it's a 'dire situation.'
They've also closed all offices and firehouses to the public.
These changes are to help limit the amount of exposure.
Fisher said it's all about keeping everyone safe.
"If our first responders get sick, we can't help you, so we're doing everything we can to make sure our first responders stay healthy and able to do the job," said Fisher.
