Dr. Sean Sharma, Fountain & Warren Counties Health Department medical director, gave a brief update on the states of COVID-19 in the bi-county area as of April 15.
Sharm wrote in an email, âThe spread of COVID-19 has increased over the past month in both Fountain & Warren County and the State of Indiana. Fountain County remains in âblueâ this week, and is expected to move toward âyellowâ over the coming week. Warren County moved into âyellowâ.  It is felt that much of the current spread in the U.S. as a whole is related to the more contagious U.K. variant. Not all tests are being genetically analyzed by the state to determine the variant type, but with several hundred confirmed cases in Indiana, we can safely assume this variant is also present in Fountain & Warren County.â
