The Fishers Health Department (FHD) has moved the CDC COVID-19 Community Level from Low to Medium, driven by the increased spread of COVID-19 in the local community.
While FHD continues to observe an increase in reported cases due to more transmissible Omicron subvariants, there is no evidence yet of increased severity of the disease.
New COVID-19 cases per 100,000 individuals increased from 158 to 203. New COVID-19 admission per 100,000 increased from 4.7 to 5.8 and the percent of staffed beds occupied by individuals with COVID-19 increased from 1.3 percent to 1.5 percent.
Additional guidance
Talk with your healthcare provider about appropriate precautions if you are at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19. If you live with or have social contact with someone at high risk for severe outcomes, consider self-testing for COVID-19 before making contact and consider wearing a mask when indoors with the individual.
Practicing mitigation measures for yourself, your family, and the Fishers community is important, including staying up to date on COVID-19 vaccines.
