UPDATE: 9-30-2020 - Stage 5 'Back On Track' still has Independent undercover
Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced that he will advance the state to an updated version of the Stage 5 'Back On Track' Indiana plan and extend the state’s face covering mandate until at least Oct. 17. Although Local governments and businesses may impose more restrictive guidelines that extend well beyond that date.
“Indiana continues to experience steady health indicators as Hoosiers change their habits to wash our hands more, practice social distancing, and wear face coverings. This allows us to continue to get Indiana Back on Track, and I urge Hoosiers to keep up their vigilance, especially as the days get cooler, so schools and businesses can remain open,” Gov. Holcomb said during his latest COVID-19 press conference.
Under this adjusted Stage 5, Independent will continue to have face coverings remain a requirement, as well as continue to practice social distancing.
We have great members and staff, and it is our aim to continue to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. We thank everyone for their continued efforts to help us help you by following the recommended safety guidelines.
