Bartholomew County Emergency Management announced via Facebook that county buildings there are now mandating masks be worn:

Due to the increasing spread of the Delta variant, COVID-19, and increasing hospitalizations, including ICU patients, beginning Wednesday August 11, visitors and employees must wear a mask while conducting business inside all Bartholomew County buildings.

County business will continue to be transacted; employees will continue to work, answer phones, emails, and will meet with members of the public.

Bartholomew County officials will return to conducting virtual meeting through the end of August. The meetings will be available via Zoom. If Governor Holcomb's emergency order is extended through September the county will continue with virtual meetings in September.

The Bartholomew County Commissioners continue to encourage all employees and members of the public to get vaccinated.
