.@GovHolcomb's weekly #coronavirus briefing underway.
Holcomb opens with tribute to former Gov. #JoeKernan, who died this morning at 74. "We lost a good man, a trusted man, a devoted man, a loyal man, someone who taught so many so much."
One Navy guy to another, Holcomb wishes the former fighter pilot #JoeKernan "fair winds and following seas."
The 5-page ##MaskUpHoosiers order runs through August 26, but, like past #pandemic restrictions, can be extended by @GovHolcomb. The mask requirement indoors exempts private offices and workspaces, and meetings where #socialdistancing is possible.
The order notes there are already #MaskUp requirements under prior executive orders for certain businesses, including restaurants, bars, hair salons, gyms. Those remain in effect for the duration of the emergency declaration, regardless of whether the broader mask order expires.
FSSA Secretary @confectionsmd: Masks required on school bus, and at school except when eating or if it has to be taken off for instructional reasons.
Sullivan: entire schools don't have to close if there's a positive case. 2 cases in one class would close that classroom. She says it's a similar protocol to what closes daycare centers. (Only 16 of 4,000 child care centers in IN have had to close in pandemic.)
Weaver: if there's a positive case in school, close contacts will be identified, and isolated for 2 weeks to see if symptoms develop. Schools are urged to group students in "pods" and assign seats to simplify contact tracing.

Box: "What concerns me is we're seeing more infections. The positivity rate has steadily increased." Last few days, accompanied by hospitalization increase.
Box: surge confirms wisdom of last week's decision not to lift final #coronavirus restrictions.
#NEW: In a few minutes, Gov. Holcomb is expected to announce whether Indiana will move to Stage 5 of reopening on July 4.

#NEW: Gov. Holcomb says because of surge around the country, cautious reopening makes sense.
Stage 4.5 means capacities will mostly stay the same--outdoor activities mostly permitted. Outdoors much safer than indoors. Local parades, fireworks OK--masks, soc. distance
