Indiana’s health emergency was extended another month last weekend, but for the first time, the state is actively looking at whether it’s time to end it.
Gov. Holcomb has asked agency heads to report back on how to end the state of emergency when the latest extension runs out on December 1.
He says the extension of the COVID vaccine to kids as young as five will mean fewer opportunities for the continued spread of what Holcomb says is now “a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
The governor says the state has learned more about how to handle a possible surge.
The emergency order has been in effect for 20 months.
