Friends,

 

Governor Holcomb is working hard to get Indiana back on track. As he’s said
all along, the data will drive the timing of this plan – and this week, we
learned more about where the data stands in Indiana.

As you’ll see from the chart above, like many states across the county,
Indiana is seeing an uptick in the percentage of Hoosiers who are testing
positive each day for COVID-19.

 

These are the four guiding principles Governor Holcomb is watching closely –

* Hospitalizations – 15% of all positive cases are currently leading to
hospitalization, which is down slightly from last week
* Surge Capacity – Our hospitals’ surge capacity remains strong with 35.5% of
open ICU beds and 84% of ventilators available
* Testing – 182,000 Hoosiers have taken advantage of free community testing
provided by OptumServe or the Indiana State Department of Health. As you’ll see
in the chart, 7.1% of those tests are coming back positive – which is up
* Contact Tracing – Indiana’s contact tracing team is in high-gear making
calls to people who have tested positive or their close contacts
With all of this data in mind, this week Governor Holcomb announced that
Indiana will remain in Stage 4.5 for at least the next two weeks. Elkhart
County will remain in Stage 4.

 

Starting July 23, gatherings of MORE than 250 Hoosiers, such as fairs,
festivals, parades, graduations, concerts, conferences, etc., must work with
their local health department to develop a written plan to mitigate against
COVID-19.


We’ll continue to keep you updated on the latest in Indiana’s COVID-19 data
here. In the meantime, let’s all continue to be safe. Wear a face covering when
you go out, wash your hands frequently, and social distance when you can. By
taking these steps together, we’ll get Indiana back on track!
