As residents across Indiana are anxious to resume normal life, as the fight against COVID-19 continues by health care workers, and the Indiana State Department of Health the biggest question by many is what indicators are needed to in a sense lift the restrictions put in place under the various executive orders that were issued over the past 6 weeks.

Some hints have been given by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb about easing back some restrictions, but Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch indicates that its all about one main thing.

Crouch indicated that state officials need to know the extend of the spread of COVID-19 in regards to who is infected, where they are infected, and to keep identifying and learning more about who are the most at risk when battling the virus.

It was also announced that further study of COVID-19 within Indiana will be conducted in partnership with both the Indiana State Department of Health, as well as Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis in what is being described as a four phase program which will be conducted in three month increments over the next year.
