RECISSION OF COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY DECLARATION

REMAINING PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO THE EMERGENCY

After nearly two years the Public Health Emergency Declaration in Indiana declared on March 6th, 2020 has been rescinded. 

On March 3rd, 2022, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed the Executive Order 22-09 stating that the Public Health Emergency in Executive Order 22-01 was rescinded effective 7 PM on March 3rd, 2022, except that temporary licensing of certain health care workers would continue until March 31, 2022 as provided in paragraph 2 of the EC 22-02.

Gov. Holcomb shared that in response to the pandemic, Indiana implemented a vaccination program with over 3.5 million Hoosiers vaccinated representing over 56% of eligible Hoosiers, as well as the rapid decline in confirmed daily cases, hospitalizations and deaths that have been reported.

Governor Holcomb also signed into law HEA 1011 (2022) which provides a mechanism to continue financial support to Hoosiers and Hoosier families who are experiencing hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic and allows Indiana to continue to secure additional federal financial relief.
