Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb extended Indiana’s COVID-19 public health emergency for an additional 30 days. This is the ninth renewal of the emergency declaration, which Holcomb first issued via Executive Order in early March. Today’s Executive Order does not add any new Coronavirus measures. The Health Emergency expires December 31st, unless it is extended again, which is highly likely.
