State of Indiana’s Four Principles to Get Back on Track

Source: backontrack.in.gov

Governor Holcomb has used data to drive decisions since our first case of the novel coronavirus in early March. That will continue to be our practice as we contemplate a sector-by-sector reset. These are the four guiding principles that will determine if stages to reopen various sectors of the economy will move forward:

RAPID DETECTION THROUGH TESTING CONTACT TRACING PROTECT HOOSIER EMPLOYEES AND CONSUMERS

State of Indiana’s Back on Track Engine

To get back on track, Indiana must stay ahead of COVID-19. To do this, we will employ a three-pronged approach to detect the virus through robust testing, tracing identified cases to prevent its spread and protecting Hoosiers as they return to work and the economy by developing a steady supply line of personal protective equipment.

PROTECT HOOSIER EMPLOYEES AND CONSUMERS

• Supplies of personal protective equipment are critical for businesses as they

resume operations, with masks particularly in demand. The state is working with Hoosier companies that have already converted their lines of work to protective equipment or currently supply such materials.

• The Indiana Small Business PPE Marketplace is now available to provide

reliable access to PPE for small businesses.

• Businesses and non-profit entities with fewer than 150 employees and

registered to do business in Indiana are eligible.

• $300 million will be distributed to counties, cities and towns via a population-

based formula from the Coronavirus Relief Fund for reimbursement of COVID-19 expenses. Funds may be used for expenditures caused by the public health emergency as outlined in U.S. Treasury guidelines. If local governments direct any of their allocation for local business, it must be used for PPE at this time. Future program phases are under development.

Five Ways to Prepare to Re-Open

#1 BUILD A COVID-19 PLAN #2 RESPECT SOCIAL DISTANCING #3 CREATE A CLEANING SCHEDULE #4 MARKET YOUR COVID-19 PLAN #5 RESPECT THE PROCESS

24

Take a few moments and write down your plan of action. This plan will later be used in marketing efforts when you are showing you are serious about customer and staff

• safety. Include material needed: Checklists, new protocols, safety procedures, social

distancing and marketing.

#1 Build a COVID-19 Plan #2 Respect Social Distancing

How do you plan to keep your customers and employees safe taking into consideration social

• distancing. Supplies may include stickers on the floor indicating where to stand, signs

indicating the number of people allowed in your location, or plastic shields for your front counter. Consumers will notice if your store or office is clean, organized and safe to enter. Make sure you are rebuilding your cleaning plan and have all the necessary items needed to do so. Build a schedule and calendar and make sure your staff is fully aware of the procedure. Build in inspection times and checklists for quality control.

#3 Create a Cleaning Schedule #4 Market Your COVID-19 Reopening Plans

As businesses begin to re-open, customers and clients will look for those locations that have clearly marketed their safety plans. Let people know they are safe in your business and you are taking their safety seriously.

#5 Respect the Process

The process of re-opening will constantly adjust as our leaders evaluate the current

• environment. Just as many people who are ready for business to be as usual, there are
• thers who will remain overly cautious. The faster we adhere to safety protocols, the

faster we all will get back to business as usual.
