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.

If you would like to use our radio ad promoting safety awareness please let us know and we can send you the audio file.
In summary, we are moving beyond the 5 Stage approach and utilizing a county-by-county process that affects gathering sizes based on the color-coded map on the state’s Website. Governor Holcomb also announced $20 million in CARES funding that communities can apply for to support education and compliance.
