EXTENDED - BACK ON TRACK INDIANA - STAGE 4.5
|

For Immediate Release:
Wednesday, August 26, 2020
Governor Announces State to Remain in Current Stage of Back on Track
INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced that he will extend the state’s face covering mandate and continue Stage 4.5 of the Back On Track Indiana plan until Sept. 25.
Local governments may impose more restrictive guidelines.
Gov. Holcomb has used data to drive decisions since the state’s first case of the novel coronavirus in early March and he continues to do so. The state continues to monitor and respond to these four guiding principles:
· The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients statewide has decreased for 14 days
· The state retains its surge capacity for critical care beds and ventilators
· The state retains its ability to test all Hoosiers who are COVID-19 symptomatic as well as health care workers, first responders, and frontline employees
· Health officials have systems in place to contact all individuals who test positive for COVID-19 and expand contact tracing
The Indiana State Department of Health is updating its color-coded county positivity map to evaluate each county based on three metrics.
The tracker will score counties as blue, yellow, orange or red, more easily allowing local officials to determine the best course of action. A current map is available here. The map will go live on the dashboard next week and be updated weekly.
Scoring does not trigger a state requirement of any action, but provides local information and recommendations based on:
- Number of new cases in the past week per 100,000 residents
- Percent positivity as determined by the number of positive tests divided by the total number of tests administered
- The change in percent positivity from the previous week
The new system is designed to help local and school officials understand and respond to the level of community spread in their county. The map will be available on the ISDH coronavirus dashboard next week.
The Governor also signed an executive order extending the public health emergency an additional 30 days.

Responding to the Census
The 2020 Census is happening now.
You can complete your questionnaire online, by phone, or by mail.
It's not too late to complete your 2020 Census.
Please complete your form online, by phone, or by mail when your invitation to respond arrives. Visit my2020census.gov to begin.
Please note that if you are responding online, you must complete the census in one sitting, as you don't have the ability to save your progress. You can see the questions the census asked.
Even if you did not receive an invitation to respond from the Census Bureau, you may respond online or visit our Contact Us page to call our phone line.
The Census Bureau began mailing paper questionnaires in mid-April to homes that had not yet responded. If you have not already responded, please complete and mail back your form as soon as you receive it. And if you prefer, you still have the option of responding online or by phone instead.

I wanted to make you aware of two FREE important offerings that the Red Cross has put together. These two online classes may be of interest to your staff and volunteers. Both of these courses are free and online. The courses are Returning to Work During COVID – 19: Safe Work Practices Online Course and Psychological First Aid: Helping Others in Times of Stress.
Explanations of each course and information on how to register:
- Returning to Work During COVID – 19: Safe Work Practices Online Course:
-
Must use code to have free access, contact me for codes
The Covid-19 pandemic is challenging employees and businesses in new ways. As employees begin returning to work, they may have questions about the measures needed to maintain safe and healthy workplaces. To help during this time, the Red Cross is offering this course. Based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administrating (OSHA), the course provides safety actions that employees can take during reopening periods and includes insight into new or modified business policies and procedures implemented to maintain safe work environments. This course is designed to help with the following:
· Facts about Covid-19 and how to limit the spread of the virus
· The phased approach to returning to work
· Ways to keep your coworkers and yourself safe at work
· Ways to support your coworkers and yourself at work
· How to keep your family safe at home
This course should take approximately 60 minutes to complete and upon completion, students will receive a certification that is valid for two years. You will need to register for this course and if interested, let me know and I will send you the registration link along with a coupon code that will allow you to take this course at no charge. Access codes are for individuals and not organizations, so if you want to train multiple people, it will be necessary for me to issue multiple codes (which is fine). Just let me know how many codes you will need.
Email [email protected] for registration link and coupon codes along with how many individuals want to take this training
- Psychological First Aid: Helping Others in Times of Stress
This class covers basic principles of Psychological First Aid – the practice of recognizing and responding to people experiencing crisis – related stress. This class is scheduled for 3 hours. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
