INDIANAPOLIS Senate Democrats held a virtual press conference Tuesday, saying Governor Eric Holcomb lifted the state s mask mandate too soon.
The lawmakers say now is not the time to relax and that people must stay vigilant against COVID-19. They believe lowering the mandate to a mask advisory could potentially harm families.
State Senators Jean Breaux of Indianapolis and Shelli Yoder of Bloomington, who serve on the Senate Health Committee, used the press conference to call on Holcomb to put the mask mandate back in place.
