INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Indiana’s COVID-19 numbers hit more than 3,000 cases for a second straight day with 3,205 new cases and 26 deaths. Dr. Woody Myers made the following statement:

“In these important last days of an election, Governor Holcomb continues to be missing-in-action while our neighbors and family members continue to die.” 

Dr. Myers and Linda Lawson’s plan for mitigating the COVID-19 spread:

  • Return Indiana to a public health emergency status
  • Distribute Hoosiers’ remaining $700M of CARES ACT funding
  • Implement a true mask mandate and strengthen contact tracing techniques using advanced technology like a state specific smartphone application
  • Provide clear guidance and support to K-12 schools to achieve virtual and hybrid learning
  • Provide direct financial assistance for our most vulnerable populations
  • Reinstate rental assistance programs and institute a utility shutoff moratorium
  • Provide Hoosiers with the reassurance of a public process to guarantee fair and equitable vaccine distribution
  • Direct Indiana National Guard to construct field hospitals collocated in hardest hit COVID-19 areas and population centers
  • Guide the General Assembly to take immediate legislative action to help Hoosiers on Organization Day
