.@GovHolcomb's #coronavirus briefing is about to begin. Judging from some brief and uneventful hot mic moments, at least one topic will be the recognition that this would ordinarily be #indy500 weekend.
And sure enough, Holcomb begins by noting today would have been #CarbDay, before urging people to remember that more important, it's #MemorialDayWeekend, and to honor men and women in uniform.
Holcomb: "While we won't have a race this weekend, we hopefully will have one in August, and maybe in July as well." (July is the #Brickyard400, in theory.)
Holcomb urges people to go outside this weekend, responsibly and safely (masks, social distancing).
ISDH commissioner Kris Box: there are now 209 #coronavirustesting sites, including 21 @cvspharmacy.
Box: "I know it's hard" to limit travel, but you still need to. "This is not a normal year. We have to remain vigilant, and continue to make informed decisions about where we go and what we do" to make sure infections still trend down.
Box: Family cookouts are fine. But while pools are allowed to reopen today, she says if it's crowded, think about going back another day.
