According to a Tuesday order, the Indianapolis courts are now encouraging all who enter any of the “courthouses” in Marion County to follow CDC guidelines for mask wearing and social distancing based on their personal vaccination status and state of health.
The “courthouses” are the City-County Building in downtown Indianapolis, the Juvenile Justice Complex on Keystone Avenue and the new Community Justice Center in the Twin Aire neighborhood.
According to its website, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise individuals to take preventative measures based on the level of COVID-19 infection in their local communities. The agency has rated Marion County at a low level and is advising individuals to keep up to date on COVID-19 vaccines and to get tested if they develop symptoms of the virus.
Individuals with certain medical conditions including cancer, chronic kidney or liver disease, diabetes and heart disease as well as the pregnant or recently pregnant, among others, are encouraged to take precautions. Preventative steps include wearing a mask, staying 6 feet away from others, avoiding poorly ventilated spaces and crowds, and washing hands often.
The Indiana Department of Health is reporting Marion County had a seven-day positivity rate of 3.21% as of Monday.
