People who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can meet without masks indoors in small groups with others who have been inoculated but should avoid non-essential travel and continue to wear face-coverings in public, the Biden administration said on Monday
The Hoosier State will not immediately be joining Texas and Mississippi in scrapping the governorâs directive for individuals to wear a face mask inside businesses and other public places to minimize the potential spread of COVID-19.
Gov. Eric Holcomb recently told reporters heâs been keeping abreast of decisions by some of his fellow Republican governors to get rid of their mask mandates, but heâs not yet convinced doing so is the right policy for Indiana.
âIâm very Indiana-centric about this, and Iâm really happy about the path that weâre on to get to that light at the end of the tunnel,â Holcomb said.
