The Fishers Health Department is issuing a new Public Health order effective once the current document expires April 6, “strongly advising” mask wearing, but no longer mandating it.
Click here to read the new order.
Here is what the Fishers Health Department strongly advises as of April 6:
- Continued mask-wearing
- Distancing from those outside your household
- Sanitizing high-touch surfaces
- Getting vaccinated when eligible
The city is also challenging all adults to sign-up for a COVID vaccine appointment, now that anyone 16 years of age and older is eligible for the shot. The Health Department wants 85 percent of those eligible to be vaccinated. Vaccination rates for Fishers will be tracked and reported by the health department during the week of April 5.
The order contains the expiration of the mask mandate and social gathering restrictions, along with ending limits on capacity for restaurants and other businesses.
