A
Hello,
it's
mayor,
john
hamilton,
it's
monday
january
31st,
2022,
quick
public
update,
again
nothing
real
new
this
week,
we're
still
stuck
in
a
very
serious
surge
of
the
covid
pandemic,
particularly
omicron
variant.
That's
hit
us
very
hard.
If
you
looked
at
the
state
website,
you'll
see
every
county
in
indiana
is
red.
That's
the
most
severe
status
as
we
look
at
the
impact
here.
A
Our
our
numbers
came
down
slightly
over
the
past
week
in
terms
of
total
number
of
cases,
but
still
way
up
over
a
thousand
cases
per
week
we
had
gotten
below
100,
as
you
may
recall
a
couple
months
ago,
and
it's
just
climbed
steadily
since
our
own
employment
here
in
the
city,
we've
had
over
100
positive
cases,
almost
one
in
eight
city
employees,
testing
positive
over
the
month
of
january.
So
we
know
omicron
is
here.
Of
course
it's
hitting
our
schools,
it's
hitting
so
many
workplaces.
A
Those
who
are
vaccinated
and
boosted
are
generally
seeing
a
much
much
much
better
outcome.
Often
it's
not
significant
or
or
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
in
health
road,
but
those
who
are
unvaccinated.
This
is
a
a
deadly
infection,
a
deadly
disease,
very
serious
hospitalizing
people,
putting
people
on
ventilators
so
doing
all
we
can
is
so
important.
Still
wear
your
mask.
We
continue
to
have
the
indoor
mask
mandate
here
in
monroe
county.
A
Keep
your
distance
from
folks.
Don't
share
air
with
people
if
you
don't
have
to
that,
are
not
in
your
own
household
just
for
the
next
short
time.
We
hope
weeks.
We
hope
to
see
this
declining.
We
just
don't
know.
We
have
to
be
humble
and
be
ready
and
continue
to
be
steady
so
that
our
kids
can
go
to
school
so
that
our
workplaces
can
continue
safely.
A
So
the
university
can
go
forward,
ivy,
tech,
others
where,
where
it's
so
important,
that
people
get
together
and
do
their
jobs
and
get
their
learning
and
such
proceeding
our
city
employees.
I
want
to
thank
because
they've
done,
exceptional
things
to
make
up
for
people
who've
been
out
with
positive
tests
so
as
sanitation,
public
safety
and
others.
We
really
appreciate
that,
and
I
know
that's
happening
for
many
of
you
all
around
the
city
and
your
workplaces
too,
so
stay
safe.
Please
get
vaccinated
and
boosted.
There's
plenty
of
opportunity
to
do
that
locally.
A
That
boosting
is
really
important.
Indiana
is
still
way
low
on
the
national
scale
of
how
many
of
us
have
gotten
vaccinated
and
boosted,
and
that
makes
a
huge
difference
on
this
latest
variant,
so
keep
keep
safe,
take
care
of
yourselves
in
our
city.
We
really
appreciate
that
and
I'll
keep
you
posted
as
I
do
regularly.
Thanks.
