Staying informed during COVID-19 pandemic by Wendy McNamara

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold, the health departments in Posey and Vanderburgh counties are working hard to keep us informed and providing updates.
The Posey County Health Department on Facebook gives updates on the latest number of COVID-19 cases in the county and state, key takeaways from Gov. Eric Holcomb’s announcements and new resources available for testing patients. To provide county-specific data, the Vanderburgh County Health Department started a COVID-19 dashboard featuring a social distancing scoreboard, a case-by-case tracker, patient demographics and more.

With a lot of misinformation being shared on social media, we need reliable sources for correct information. Local health departments are circulating accurate information and providing clarity for our community. The staff strives to serve our neighborhoods with integrity and assured preparedness against any threat or emergency.

To these dedicated workers and other local medical staff, we say “thank you.”
