Fewer Indiana counties this week are facing the state s county-level COVID-19 restrictions governing social gatherings as the spread of the virus continues to slow, the state health department s latest map update shows.
Another 11 counties Wednesday were shaded blue on the state s advisory-level map. That means 42 of the state s 92 counties now no longer face the state s gathering capacity restrictions but must still obey social distancing and mask-wearing protocols.
Both Indiana s public health emergency order and county-level restriction order were extended last month and will remain in effect through March. The current county restrictions limit social gatherings to 25% of capacity in orange and red counties and 50% of capacity in yellow counties.

Indiana Sens. Todd Young and Mike Braun voted not guilty Saturday in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
The largely partisan vote was 57-43. Seven Republicans voted with all 50 Democrats to convict Trump. Two-thirds, or 66, votes of the Senate were needed to convict.
Following the historic vote, Sen. Young issued a statement that explained his vote:
“I remain troubled and saddened by the events leading up to and on the day of the Capitol riots. However, it is improper under the present circumstances for the former president of the United States to be subject to an impeachment trial.

Several members of Indiana s Congressional delegation voted to object to the certification of Electoral College votes after a day of violence in Washington D.C.
Congress confirmed President-elect Joe Biden s victory early Thursday after a day of violence in Washington D.C. and dozens of Republicans voted to object to the results in certain battleground states.
Sen. Mike Braun had planned to object to President-elect Joe Biden s Electoral College victory, but after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol earlier Wednesday, he voted against objecting to the result in Arizona, one of the battleground states he had planned to dispute. Sen. Todd Young also voted against the objection.
