Fishers remains at Level 3 COVID community risk

LarryInFishers.com

The Fishers Health Department has seen a slight increase in the Fishers testing site positive rate and a decrease in case incidence rate, in the latest update posted Friday. This is the second week that local health officials have seen a decrease in cases in Fishers, which may indicate that Fishers is in a position of flattening a bit. Overall, we are seeing that unvaccinated case rates are 7.5 times higher than in vaccinated cases.

Fishers is at COVID community risk Level 3 on a scale of 5, with 5 being the highest risk.

Although local hospital capacity is generally available at the moment, health officials say capacity continues to decrease and the number of people hospitalized is increasing.
