Perry ' s Perry ' s 303 Breckinridge Rd, Monroe City Email: perryshvac@gmail.com Craig Perry Vance Perry Chase Perry County, state working to get 'Back on Track' By Andy Heuring Indiana and Pike County are in the process of easing off restric- tions of Indiana Governor Er- ic Holcomb's nearly two-month "Stay at Home" order. On Friday, Holcomb literally released a book that details his five-stage plan to get back to nor- mal life in Indiana. It started on Monday allowing several merchants and business- es to return to work. But it real- ly kicks in on Monday, May 11. Some of the highlights will be allowing restaurants to open for eat-in dining at 50 percent of their normal capacity. Another item of local interest is youth sports leagues can ten- tatively start on June 14. Winslow Youth Baseball Pres- ident Christine Fultz said the Winslow 12U team is planning to start the week of June 14. Winslow has one 12U team that plays in a league with Oak- land City, Elberfeld, Lynnville and Barton Township. "We don't have an official date for the first game, but is it supposed to start the week of June 14. This is still 'iffy'. It is all subject to change, if things don't go well," said Flutz. Flutz said the league decid- ed the T-ball age kids were too young to abide by the social dis- tancing requirements and par- ents of the 10U players decided to forgo this season. Petersburg Little League Pres- ident Tim Stafford said last week they are planning on playing this year, but they don't know when they will start. He said they would make a decision after May 6. Several businesses have an- nounced they will be opening. Cakes & Coffee owner Randy Harris said they will be opening to dine-in service on Monday. He said they will also be opening un- der a name change. On Monday, it will change to Randy's Ameri- cana Cafe. "Thanks to our cus- tomers, we outgrew Cakes & Cof- fee," said Harris. John Voyles announced Tues- day their lobby was now open for takeout. During the time, the in- side of the store was closed while they remodeled. Timeless Classics of Pike County also announced their 42nd Annual Car Show in Horna- dy Park was going to be on Satur- day, May 30. On Tuesday during Governor Holcomb's daily briefing, they an- nouncing 20 new COVID-19 test- ing sites would open on Wednes- day. It is an agreement with Op- tumServe Health Services. One is located at the Jasper National Guard Armory. It can be contact- ed by calling 888 -634-1123 or at https://lhi.care/covidtesting Individuals must be symptom- atic, be a close contact of a posi- tive case, or a symptomatic resi- dent of congregate living settings to be eligible for testing. You will go to the portal and self-report your symptoms using the online screening tool. If you qualify, an option will ap- pear to register for an appoint- ment date and time. There is no charge for testing. However, if you do have private health care insurance, you are asked to bring that to the test- ing site. People can expect to get the re- sults within 48 hours. Optum will send a text or email to the patient if the test is negative. A phone call will be given if there is a positive test result. Dubois County Health Depart- ment will not be involved with the direct operations of Optum- Serve's clinics. Governor Holcomb last week said his plan to Get Back On Track "was a little bit science and a little bit art." "We will follow four guiding principles to determine how plans to reopen various sectors of the economy move forward," said Holcomb. Those 4 principles are: • The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients statewide has decreased for 14 days. • The state maintains its surge capacity for critical care beds and ventilators. • We can test all Hoosiers who are COVID-19 symptomatic. • We can contact all individ- uals who test positive for COV- ID-19 and expand contact trac- ing. The governor's five stage plan to Get Back On Track area as fol- lows: He said Indiana is in the stage one now. Stages two to five are as fol- lows: STAGE 2 Hoosiers 65 and over and those with high-risk health conditions should remain home as much as possible. Lifting essential travel restric- tions and permitting social gath- erings of up to 25 people. Retail stores, shopping malls and commercial businesses can open at 50 percent capacity. Restaurants can open on May 11 at 50 percent capacity. Bar seating will remain closed. Personal services may also open on May 11 by appointment only and must continue to follow social distancing guidelines. Office workers are encouraged to continue working remotely where possible. Stage 2 started on Monday, May 4 for all counties except Marion and Lake counties. They will begin stage 2 on May 11, Cass County on May 18. Holcomb said in his Tuesday briefing, "Just because your fa- vorite restaurant reopened to dine-in doesn't mean you have to go there, especially if you are in an at-risk category." Starting May 8, for all 92 coun- ties, indoor worship services may also convene, following specific social distancing guidelines. Stage 3 on May 24. Older and at-risk Hoosiers may venture out cautiously. Those who can work remotely should continue to do so. Social gatherings of 100 or more may occur. Retail stores and malls may move to 75 percent capacity; mov- ie theatres at 50 percent capacity. Gyms and fitness centers may open with restrictions on social distancing. STAGE 4 JUNE 14 Social gatherings of up to 250 people may occur. State government buildings will be reopened to the public. Professional office building employees may resume work at full capacity. Retail stores and malls may open at full capacity with so- cial distancing guidelines still in place. Dining room service may open at 75 percent capacity; bar seat- ing at 50 percent. Zoos, museums, bowling al- leys, and other tourism and cul- tural attractions open at 50 per- cent capacity. "Our goal is to have all areas of the state reach stage 5 beginning July 4th." –Governor Holcomb STAGE 5: "We'll continue to practice so- cial distancing, but conventions, fairs, sporting events, festivals and similar events may resume," said Holcomb. Retail stores, malls, restau- rants, bars, nightclubs, gyms and personal services may operate at full capacity. Restrictions will be lifted at tourism and cultural destina- tions. Holcomb emphasized he will only authorize moving to the next stage if the four principals are still being met. "If the four guiding principles are not met, portions of the state may need to pause or return to an earlier phase of the plan," said Holcomb. "As life starts to slowly return to normal, making progress to- ward being fully back on track will require constant vigilance from all of us. We're still all in this together. Successfully get- ting back on track is up to each of us," said Holcomb. More details of Governor Hol- comb's road map back can be found at BackOnTrack.in.gov.
