But these policies and best practices only work when we all participate. We must do better – especially younger adults in social settings. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

That is why we instituted a mask order nearly a month ago. It’s why we’ve consistently updated our policies to reflect the best-available science on a virus that has made clear it isn’t going away. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Right now, public health is our number one priority. Nothing else can move forward without it. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

@INVenueAlliance For cultural & entertainment venues, we are modifying our existing order to allow no more than 25% capacity, with continued adoption of CDC social distancing guidelines. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Dr. Caine and I plan to meet with our school system leaders in the coming days, and we fully expect to provide a briefing next week with more definitive guidance as to whether and how in-person K-12 education may resume given our current rates of infection. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

I know that many questions remain as to what the current trajectory of the virus means for K-12 education in Marion County. For now, in-person classes must not resume until at least August 5th. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

If 25% capacity means you will be hosting an event that exceeds 250 attendees, you will need to obtain advanced approval from @Marion_Health for your public health risk mitigation plan. (10/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, for tourism, cultural, entertainment, and sports venues, we are modifying our existing order to allow no more than 25% capacity, with continued adoption of CDC social distancing guidelines. (9/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

While we are not putting in place travel restrictions at this time, we recommend that those traveling to states or nations with heightened rates of infection should self-quarantine for 14 days upon return. (8/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Personal services like tattoo parlors, nail and hair salons, and spas may operate by appointment only. Gyms and other fitness centers may operate at 25% capacity. (7/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Restaurants may operate at 50% indoor dining capacity. Outdoor seating is preferred, with social distancing, and we will continue to work with state leaders to permit expanded outdoor seating. Importantly, all restaurants must close for in-person dining between midnight and 5 AM. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

When it comes to bars and nightclubs that don't serve food, we must ask that they close until at least August 12th. That includes bar seating at restaurants. (5/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Indoor religious ceremonies may be held at up to 50% capacity. Outdoor ceremonies may continue without restriction. (4/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Social gatherings may not exceed 50 individuals. That includes weddings receptions, banquets, club meetings, and any event where we come together to socialize other than religious services. (3/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

First and foremost: Masks are still mandatory – doubly so after the governor’s order. Aside from the list of exceptions provided in today’s order, masks must be worn over the nose and mouth whenever we are around each other in public – indoors or outdoors. (2/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Today, @Marion_Health Director Dr. Caine and I are announcing temporary restrictions that will mitigate the resurgence of COVID-19 in our city. (1/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

The data also shows that, for the first time, positivity rates are skyrocketing among young adults between the ages of 18 and 30, particularly when those individuals have been congregating in gyms, bars, and other indoor venues. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

And the challenge is this: our latest data clearly shows that transmission is occurring most often indoors – particularly when groups of people gather to socialize. (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Over the last week, our city’s positivity rate has jumped by roughly 50%. Without a response, that trajectory will undo all the hard work we’ve done over the last four months. We can’t let that happen. I know that we won’t let that happen. Indianapolis will rise to the challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Yesterday, Governor Holcomb reported that the rate of COVID positivity is steadily rising in Indiana. Unfortunately, I must report that the same is true in Marion County. (2/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Since May, there has been largely good news about our collective work to combat the spread of COVID-19. Indianapolis has earned the opportunity to enjoy that progress by doing our part to make sacrifices in the name of protecting our neighbors. (1/5) — PolitiTweet.org
