At IU Health’s South Central Region Hospitals, 30 people are being treated for COVID-19. An additional eight people are waiting on test results.

So far, 434 staff have been quarantined and 342 have returned to work.
IU Health says if a staff member shows symptoms consistent with COVID-19, they are asked to temporaily self-isolate. Then, they are screened through the IU Health's virtual clinic to determine if they meet criteria for a COVID-19 test. If the staff member's test result is negative, they touch base through the virtual clinic again and can return to work after 24 hours without fever and use of medication. If a staff member tests positive for the virus, they abstain from work for a minimum of a week, starting when symptoms began to 72 hours after being symptom-free.
