This morning, the Monroe County Board of Commissioners approved a new Health Order and Regulation from the Monroe County Health Department that states masks or face coverings will be required to be worn over an individuals nose and mouth in all indoor public places regardless of vaccination status. This step is being taken due to the sharp increase in COVID-19 cases, positivity rate, the Delta variant, and the new CDC guidance. This mandate will go into effect on Thursday, August 5th at 8:00am. Businesses will be required to post signage regarding this mandate. You can stop by the Chamber office to pick up these signs and the County will also have these signs available.

The members, Board of Directors, and staff of the Chamber of Commerce would like to express their sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Melanie Walker, President and CEO of TASUS and Tsuchiya Group North America, and an Indiana University Trustee. Known as an astute businessperson, inspiring leader, strong advocate for underserved children and great friend to Indiana University, she will be greatly missed by many in our community.

Our prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
