Operative words

All directives in Executive Order 21-17, except the provision in paragraph 7(d) pertaining to prescribing amounts for opioid take-home medications, will remain in effect for the duration of this Executive Order.... The Indiana Department of Health, pursuant to Ind. Code § 16-41-2-1 and 410 Ind. Admin. Code § 1-2.5-79, has issued measures to control COVID-19. The measures require institutions and congregate care facilities, including K-12 educational institutions, post-secondary facilities, long-term care facilities, jails, prisons, childcare, and other congregate settings to report all known positive COVID-19 cases in a manner prescribed by the Indiana Department of Health. This reporting measure is also required by Commissioner Order # CO 21-01. The control measures further require investigation and contract tracing as well as appropriate isolation of those who test positive for COVID-19 and quarantining of close contacts.

Enforcement

IDOH control measures under Ind. Code § 16-41-2-1 and 410 IAC 1 (communicable disease rules; Commissioner Order CO 21-01); reservation of quarantine, isolation and closure authority

Notes

Recites that 'Since January 2021, 98% of new COVID-19 cases are with unvaccinated individuals' and the 'high transmissibility of the Delta variant'; the Q3 2021 instrument giving the IDOH control measures executive-order status.
