Friend,

 

To defeat the coronavirus and protect our fellow Hoosiers, Indiana needs YOU
to keep doing your part. Because, as Governor Holcomb said yesterday – we’re
stronger together:


“We’re living in the real world here and it requires us to make some big
changes. So, I want tothank every Hoosier out there that wants to be part of
the many, not part of the few. We are going to get through this together and
we’re going to be stronger together for it.”

 

And while you’re doing your part to hunker down, Governor Holcomb and his team
are continuing to show decisive leadership. Here are some of the latest actions
he announced –

 

Indiana State Department of Health:

* By the end of the week, our nurse surveyors will have been to all 535
nursing homes and all 232 free-standing facilities in the state of Indiana,
helping them prepare by sharing guidance and reviewing their plan for COVID-19
action.
* We are working to extend COVID-19 testing in Indiana and hope to have
additional in-state labs on board in the coming weeks.
* We’ve enhanced our data dashboard at coronavirus.in.gov
<[link removed]>. We’ll continue to update that daily.
 

Indiana Department of Transportation:

* We are seeing fewer Hoosiers going out – just yesterday, traffic on Indiana
roads was down 41% compared to the last year.
* INDOT is maintaining Indiana’s highways for essential travel as we respond
to the COVID-19 emergency.
* Our freight network plays a vital need in getting food and supplies to
Hoosiers and we’re keeping our supply lines intact.
* INDOT employees are working hard alongside the Indiana National Guard,
Indiana State Police and Indiana Department of Health to transport needed
supplies to hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the state.
* Our 2020 construction program is moving forward and on schedule. We’re
building over 1,000 projects throughout the state.
 

Indiana Department of Correction:

* No DOC inmates have tested positive for COVID-19.
* Our correctional facilities have the ability to manufacture a number of
needed products, and DOC inmates are in the process of starting to produce
gowns, face masks, hand sanitizer, and other medical protective items. They’ll
be able to produce 200 gowns and 200 masks a day.
 

And, as always, Governor Holcomb is grateful for all the Hoosiers who are
stepping up, helping out and doing their part to get us through this crisis.

 

He mentioned his American Legion post developing a buddy check system so our
older veterans are being cared for and getting what they need. Distilleries
continue to make hand sanitizer; mayors are stepping up in their communities to
provide for displaced workers and our pastors are helping to lessen the
emotional strain Hoosiers are under during this time.

“We need you! We need the public en masse to do their part… this is too
important. We can’t get this wrong.”

 

Governor Holcomb is an eternal optimist, but he’s also a realist. He knows
we’re still in the middle of this and we’ll see more confirmed cases of
COVID-19 in the days ahead. This is urban, this is suburban, and this is rural.


So, THANK YOU to every single one of you who is who is doing your part to get
us through this. We’re going to get through this,together.

 

Thanks,
Your Holcomb Crew
