.@GovHolcomb's #coronavirus briefing about to begin. Due to the holiday weekend, this is his first briefing in five days.

.@StateHealthIN Kris Box cautions against reading too much into low numbers of new cases and deaths. It's still partly the aftereffect of lower reporting during holiday weekend, and Box says regardless, the state can't let its guard down.

Box: Many testing sites still have room for more patients than they're getting.

Second phase of Fairbanks scientifically sampled testing begins next week.

Box says she's alarmed at scenes from around US of people ignoring #socialdistancing during holiday weekend. "These are not business as usual times." As she does at every briefing, she urges people to wear masks. "It may be inconvenient, but it saves lives."

.@FSPH_IUPUI #coronavirus study phase 2 will run June 3-7. It's designed to take randomized sample to get picture of virus's spread, including asymptomatic carriers. You'll get a postcard if you're selected to take part.

.@confectionsmd: big jump in telehealth calls for mental health needs. She says it shows telemedicine service for mental health a) is needed and b) especially now.

Sullivan: 1.5% of EMS runs involve #naloxone to reverse drug overdoses. That's 15x the proportion a year ago.

Sullivan: parents, teachers, caregivers need to be alert to pandemic's effects on kids, and whether misbehavior may reflect inability to deal with the stress. She urges adults to be a source of stability.

Holcomb calls attention to his dress code today: jacket over "Resilient" T-shirt from Madison.

Holcomb spotlights Rush County gift card campaign to help businesses. It's sponsored by the East Central Development Corporation, or ECDC, and God forgive me but I can't stop waiting for him to drop a "You Shook Me All Night Long" reference.

Health care reserve corps, established by Holcomb executive order last month, now has 10,000 people on its roster.

Box said last week there were 4 cases in Indiana so far of multisystem inflammatory syndrome, the COVID-related ailment affecting children. She now says there's only one confirmed case, but other possible cases still under review.

OMB director Cris Johnston: announcement coming soon on state equivalent of Paycheck Protection Program to help small businesses meet payroll.

.@GovHolcomb says Indiana will respond if asked to host GOP national convention, but sounds dubious: "I love a party just as much as everybody else, but I don't know if you've heard: we've got this little race coming up in August."

Governor's chief counsel Joe Heerens: cease and desist order issued to raceway in Benton County remains the only one issued for defiance of coronavirus restrictions. 146 verbal warnings issued, but vast majority of complaints investigated have proven unfounded.

Box: we're finding it takes 5-7 days for people to take advantage of loosened restrictions after they're lifted. Add 5-7 days before infected people show symptoms, +10 days to be severe enough to go to hospital; data lag requires close eye on whether virus is resurging.
