On Monday April 5, the Elkhart County Health Department released updated mitigation directives, a press release, and letters of support from Goshen Hospital and Elkhart General Hospital.  The press release states: "This new Public Health Order replaces the previous COVID-19 public health orders. Under 2021-01, face coverings are still required, social gatherings and events are subject to capacity limits, and other mitigation measures are strongly recommended. Also as a part of 2021-01, ECHD Health Officer Dr. Wait reminds the public that, in addition to wearing a face covering and complying with social gathering and event capacity limits, they must continue follow the additional mitigation measures implemented by individual businesses and entities."
