UPDATES FROM INCIDENT COMMAND:
-
Overall update: Incident Command has decreased to weekly meetings on Wednesday mornings.
Shelby County has been designated as
ORANGE in this week’s county color code advisory map based on the 7-day
average of positive cases and rate of cases per 100,000. Shelby County’s
positivity rate has decreased to 10.87% and the State’s positivity
rate is now 8.1%. Hospitalization rates have decreased by over 50% since
November with just under 1,600 hospitalized patients across the State
currently. At its height, Indiana had 3,400 hospitalized patients. Please

-
MHP Vaccination Clinic: We are averaging 200 scheduled vaccination appointments per day. We continue
to have a 5% “no show” rate. When that occurs, we call the
eligible wait listed patients and give them the vaccine instead. A patient
who “no shows” will have to reregister and get back in line
in order to receive the vaccine.
-
Bamlanivimab "Bam” monoclonal drug for Covid treatment. We have infused 452 patients with this Eli Lilly monoclonal drug. The
patients who have received this infusion are doing well. We have a sufficient
supply of both Regeneron and Bamlanivimab for our current needs.
-
Emergency Department visitation: We are now limiting the Emergency Department visitation to one designated
visitor per patient. The same visitation rules apply for surgery. If the
patient is a pediatric patient, we allow a maximum of two designated visitors
per patient.
-
Nursing Homes: Locally, nursing home resident outbreaks have ceased. Residents are starting
to receive their 2nd round of the vaccine this week and next week.
