2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The Association of Indiana Counties (AIC) is monitoring the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), and the effect it has on our global and local communities.
Stay Healthy. Stay Safe. #INthistogether
On November 13th, Governor Holcomb signed Executive Order 20-48 to implement pandemic requirements for all Hoosiers and targeted restrictions for counties which have high levels of COVID-19 based on a color-coded metric system. Governor Holcomb also announced the allocation of an additional $20 million from the Coronavirus Relief Fund for local governments to financially support the public awareness, education, and compliance with these requirements.
