==============
Currently, our community is experiencing a rapid increase in individuals positive with COVID-19. The trends for Fishers, Central Indiana, and the nation are very concerning. Over the course of the last several months, the Fishers Health Department has been accruing and reviewing a variety of data and research into the changing nature of this virus.
Our team is currently finalizing our analysis of all the data we have been collecting to get a true and comprehensive understanding of the course of this pandemic and the appropriate actions to take to further mitigate its spread in our community.
We are not recommending that schools and businesses close at this time. We do advise a review of additional mitigation measures that can be taken to keep public and shared locations as safe as possible. Suggestions can be found at fishers.in.us/COVIDrec.
We will provide a comprehensive update and recs (recommendations) at the upcoming board of health meeting, scheduled for 11/10. In the meantime, we must: • Wear a mask • Distance • Wash hands • No gathering in private residences
