Gov. Holcomb Names Three Things That Need To Happen To End Public Health Emergency

The governor has asked his team to come up with a plan to end executive orders and the state public health emergency.

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric Holcomb released a statement on Tuesday about the potential end to the statewide public health emergency.

On November 1, Holcomb extended the state’s public health emergency another 30 days.

While the executive order maintains critical assistance for Hoosiers, Holcomb instructed his staff and relevant agencies to bring him a plan that contemplates options to wind down executive orders and end the state public health emergency.

On Tuesday, Holcomb released the following statement:

"When extending the last state public health emergency for another 30 days, I asked my team to bring me a plan that would allow us to wind it down responsibly. They have presented me a plan that identifies three key items that must be preserved if I am to responsibly allow the state public health emergency to expire.

To carry this out, I am working with Senator Bray and Speaker Huston to consider passing three key statutory changes to continue protecting Hoosiers by allowing for the continuation of enhanced federal matching funds for Medicaid expenditures, the continuation of the enhanced benefit for those receiving federal food assistance and extend the ability to efficiently vaccinate our 5- to 11-year-olds.”

The current public health emergency is set to expire on November 30.
