.@GovHolcomb about to begin his #coronavirus briefing. It's the first such briefing in five days, though he held a news conference Monday to address the weekend #rioting.
Holcomb: what MLK said in #IHaveADream speech 57 years ago is just as relevant today; the guarantee of equality remains an unpaid promissory note. He urges Hoosiers to go back and read the whole thing.
Box: 42K Hoosiers tested for #coronavirus in the last week. But we need more. The state now has 208 testing sites, in more than 70 counties.
Box: ISDH has distributed 1,089 vials of #remdesivir.
Box: "Of course I'm concerned" about resurgence of #coronavirus following large #GeorgeFloyd protests. She urges anyone attending gatherings to wear masks (many have).
Indiana is loosening guidelines which banned visitors from #longtermcare facilities, allowing outdoor visits. Dr. Dan Rusyniak says it won't allow visits to everyone, but is step forward.
ISDH will also test all nursing-home staff this month, statewide.
Rusyniak: findings of nursing home #COVID19 tests will provide guidance on how frequently staffers need to be retested.
About 1/4 of Indiana nursing homes have had at least one #coronavirus death.
