City and county issue joint COVID statement
Sunday, April 4, 2021 4:00 AM
Governor Eric Holcomb announced recently that the state mask mandate and other restrictions will end on Tuesday, April 6, leaving the option open for local officials to implement greater restrictions if they are determined to be warranted. Gov. Holcomb has still asked that Indiana residents continue to exercise caution and follow CDC guidance to limit the spread of Covid-19.
Montgomery County Commissioners and Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton were recently briefed on the latest Covid-19 data, capacity of the healthcare system, and projections by Montgomery County Health Officer Dr. Scott Douglas. After carefully reviewing local data, current healthcare capacity, and an in-depth discussion, the County Commissioners and Mayor Barton have, at this time, collectively not chosen to enact greater restrictions in Crawfordsville and Montgomery County than those set by Gov. Holcomb and the Indiana State Department of Health.
