Hamilton County Reporter

The Indiana Department of Health has revised Hamilton County’s weekly 2-metric score from Yellow to Blue.

The department added 213 newly-reported COVID-19 positive cases to the county’s dashboard on Saturday, March 6. Upon further review, the state found that some of the test results dated back as far as January. However, color status is based on the date the test is reported, not the date the test was taken. The state has adjusted Hamilton County’s level to Blue to reflect this change.

This is the second week that Hamilton County has been under Blue status, allowing its advisory level lowered to Blue as well. That means events and social gatherings may take place at up to 100 percent capacity so long as participants social distance and wear masks. This includes K-12 extracurricular and co-curricular activities, community recreational sports, and college and professional sports. Social gatherings should be no more than 250 people.

The Fishers Health Department has the city at an orange level, but anticipates lowering the rating to yellow soon based on recent encouraging COVID numbers.
