Governor extends public health state of emergency for the 19th time

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Governor Eric Holcomb has renewed Indiana’s public health state of emergency declaration through October 31.

It’s the 19th time the order has been renewed since the start of the pandemic.

The order, which has been in place since March 2020, no longer contains restrictions on Hoosiers but allows Indiana to receive federal funds for COVID-19 response efforts.

The public health declaration was extended when Holcomb signed Executive Orders 21-26. He also signed Executive Order 21-27 on Thursday.
