Indiana’s public health emergency has been extended until September 30. Governor Eric Holcomb renewed his emergency declaration for an 18th time in an executive order Monday.
In a separate order, the governor approved a two-day extension of several COVID-19-related flexibilities. Those include temporary licensing for health care workers and the expansion of the list of people allowed to administer COVID-19 vaccines. That order will be in effect Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Governor’s Office says the short-term extension will give the state and health care stakeholders a chance to discuss how to support hospitals during the current surge.
