Indiana Hospitals Call on Hoosiers to Take Safety Measures due to Increased Hospitalizations, Strain on Health Care Workers

All Hoosiers should be alarmed at the COVID-19 trends we are seeing across the state. In recent weeks, new cases have reached the highest level to date and hospitalizations have increased by 143% since October 1. Many hospitals are reporting staff shortages as the pandemic takes its toll—Hoosier nurses, doctors, and other front-line hospital staff have been working non-stop since the early spring. Please give these courageous health care heroes some much-needed relief by wearing a face covering, practicing social distancing, washing your hands, and staying home when you are sick. We need everyone to take these steps to relieve the enormous strain on the system at this critical time.​
