Friend,

 

Governor Holcomb and the Indiana State Department of Health announced some BIG news – they’re partnering with Indiana-based Eli Lilly and Company to accelerate coronavirus testing across Indiana!

 

Lilly will use its specialized research labs to conduct COVID-19 tests, expanding testing ability in the state so that more Hoosiers can receive a timely diagnosis.

 

As Governor Holcomb said, “This partnership will be transformational in our efforts to accelerate testing for COVID-19. We are grateful for Lilly’s dedication to the health and safety of Hoosiers as we continue to put all of our focus into slowing the spread.”

 

But that’s not all. Here are a few more of the latest Indiana developments as we all work together to slow the spread of the coronavirus:

 

• All Indiana public schools are currently closed – whether they’re using e-learning, on spring break, or are using waiver days granted by Governor Holcomb.
• Small businesses are the backbone of our state. That’s why the U.S. Small Business Administration has issued an Economic Injury Disaster Loan declaration, per Governor Holcomb's request, which would provide targeted, low-interest loans to Indiana small businesses to help them overcome temporary revenue loss.
• Looking to apply for unemployment insurance benefits? The Department of Workforce Development has two upcoming webinars to learn about eligibility, FAQs, and how to apply. Learn more here.
• The Department of Revenue is still ready to provide great customer service at 317-232-2240 or online here.
• If you have questions about the coronavirus, you can call the Indiana State Department of Health toll-free 24/7 at 877-826-0011 or visit their website here.

 

We’re all in this together – and thanks to this innovative Indiana-based company, more testing resources are on the way!

 

We’ll continue to keep sending you the latest news on the actions Governor Holcomb is taking with top medical leaders to keep Hoosiers safe.

 

Thanks,
-Holcomb Crew
