.@IndyMayorJoe: Indy will further loosen #coronavirus restrictions next Friday, one week behind the rest of the state.
Worship services can host congregations at 75% capacity. That's different from state orders, which exempt houses of worship from 250-person cap on mass gatherings.
Masks will be required at the City-County Building. They'll be available at the front desk for those who don't have their own.
As of now, three communities will not be in sync with the state in lifting restrictions. Monroe County is scheduled to loosen restrictions Monday, 3 days after the state. Marion County will wait a full week. Gary has said its restrictions are in place till further notice.
.@Marion_Health director Virginia Caine notes #coronavirus cases are still rising in 23 states, a reminder not to get complacent about Indy's "significant decline."
Caine: the #pandemic peaked in Indy (and the state) in the final week of April; declining since then.

Statewide, in the week of April 21, there were 4,521 new cases (12% of 3-month total) and 291 deaths (11% of total).
Youth contact sports still banned in Marion County for now, with no firm restart date. Statewide order lets those games/tourneys resume elsewhere next Friday.
While not required, those over 60 and those able to #WorkFromHome are still encouraged to #StayHome . That's true of the state order as well.
Hogsett: Indy's staying a week behind state because businesses need time to make necessary adjustments for reopening; there wasn't much notice to open tomorrow. Caine adds the extra week also allows health dept to monitor whether there's any spike related to #GeorgeFloydProtests.
Hogsett says it's possible Indy would abandon the one-week-behind template to lift final restrictions in sync with state on #July4th, but at the moment, the schedule would indicate July 11. Either way, he says he'll rely on Caine and what the health data show.
Caine: can't yet say definitively that schools will reopen in August. Hope to have answer by July 15. The department is talking once or twice a week with the county's public school superintendents and with @archdioceseindy.
Hogsett: earliest scheduled first day of school for any Marion County district is July 29.

All 92 counties are now rated red (high risk) on @StateHealthIN's weekly risk score.
16,502 new Indiana #coronavirus cases, 2nd-highest total ever, but 3rd week-over-week drop in 5 days.

24.3% of today's batch of tests were positive. The 7-day positivity rate, which runs a week behind, holds steady at a record 30%. It's the 1st time since Dec 26 it hasn't risen.
118 newly reported Indiana #COVID19 deaths, all but 13 in the last five days (but with one late report from 2021), push the death toll to 19,761. IDH has retracted three presumptive #COVID deaths, for a total toll of 20,500.

Debate begins in Indiana House on final vote on bill limiting employer #vaccinemandates.
House Majority Leader Matt Lehman: "This bill is not about the vaccine itself; it's about the people affected" by mandates. #INLegis
Lehman points to nurses who testified they fear getting fired for being unvaxed, after working for 9 months of pandemic before #vaccine became available.

Last week's #SCOTUS ruling means those nurses aren't affected by this bill; they're still required to get vaxed or get fired.

710 Hoosiers are in ICU with #COVID19, one fewer than yesterday and the fourth straight drop, but a jump in non-#COVID patients drops the number of open Indiana ICU beds to 218. Overall, 3,460 Hoosiers are hospitalized with COVID, 97 more than yesterday after a three-day decline.
12,126 new Indiana #coronavirus cases, with 25% of today's batch of tests coming back positive. The 7-day positivity rate, which runs a week behind, sets a 15th straight record at 30%.
77 newly reported Indiana #coronavirus deaths, all in the last week; this is the first @StateHealthIN report with no belated reports from 2021 (though there could be more later). The 2-year death toll rises to 19,643; counting presumptive #COVID19 deaths, the total is 20,385.
