The Fishers Health Department has seen an increase in COVID-19 cases locally, leading to a change in the Community Level.  Below is the latest COVID information from the Fishers Health Department:

=======

We have moved our CDC COVID-19 Community Level from Low to Medium, driven by the increased spread of COVID-19 in the local community. While we continue to observe an increase in reported cases due to more transmissible Omicron subvariants, there is no evidence yet of increased severity of the disease. New COVID-19 cases per 100,000 individuals increased from 158 to 203. New COVID-19 admission per 100,000 increased from 4.7 to 5.8 and the percent of staffed beds occupied by individuals with COVID-19 increased from 1.3% to 1.5%. 

Additional guidance with the CDC COVID-19 Community Level at Medium: Talk with your healthcare provider about appropriate precautions if you are at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19. If you live with or have social contact with someone at high risk for severe outcomes, consider self-testing for COVID-19 before making contact and consider wearing a mask when indoors with the individual. 

Practicing mitigation measures for yourself, your family, and our community is important, including staying up to date on COVID-19 vaccines. See the full metrics report.
