Gov. Eric Holcomb has said the new rules will allow gatherings at up to 25% capacity at venues in counties with the two highest risk levels of coronavirus spread on the state’s four-level rating system. The revised rules under Holcomb’s new executive order will replace the current 25-person crowd limit for the highest-risk counties that has been in place since mid-November.
Nearly 3 million people have been tested for COVID-19, including repeat tests, since late February. Nearly 145,000 Indiana residents have been fully vaccinated.
