Friends,

Reliable information, access to medical care, available PPE, centralized contact tracing…

It’s all about working to keep Hoosiers safe as we continue to take measured, data-driven steps on Indiana’s Back on Track Plan.

And, as Governor Holcomb said today, it’s about providing us all with reassurance along the way.

That’s why Governor Holcomb announced that as we continue the phased-in reopening of businesses (with many more opening today as part of Phase Two), he will continue to hold updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. CT. If you haven’t been watching, you can tune in here.

It’s also why Indiana’s centralized contact tracing launched today. As Hoosiers start to leave home more, this will help us limit the spread by:

Better tracing who has been infected.
Contacting those they’ve come in contact with.
Consulting and treating those individuals directly and limit further exposure.

Indiana’s got a team of 325 people working right now to help us keep track of the spread among Hoosiers, with that reaching 500 contact tracers by the end of the month. Their job is to help keep this virus from spreading further – and be assured that all information gathered by contact tracing is kept private.

And one more piece of reassurance – know that our state’s healthcare heroes remain here for you. With the lifting of restrictions on elective procedures, now is the time to make sure you still have your preventative screenings scheduled – especially for our youngest Hoosiers. It could save lives.

Here in Indiana, we’re getting Back on Track, and know that Governor Holcomb and your state leaders are here – every step of the way.

#BackOnTrack,
-Your Holcomb Crew

P.S. If you’re in Indianapolis, look up tomorrow! The U.S. Navy Blue Angels will take to the skies at about 2 p.m.!
