The Elkhart County mask mandate and limitations on event capacities will end if Gov. Eric Holcomb signs S.B. 5 – a bill that would move power to implement restrictions from the county health officer to the county Board of Commissioners.
The commissioners informed Health Officer Dr. Bethany Wait that they intend to end the restrictions when that bill is signed, or if a veto is overridden. There would be no further coronavirus-related restrictions in the county at that point.
The move would come as both Elkhart General and Goshen Hospital are at capacity.
