Letter: Health department notice to group event planners

To the editor:

If you are planning on an event that may have over 500 attendees, you are required by the Governor’s Edict 20-43 to have a plan for your event approved by the Brown County Health Department.

Please call us at 812-988-2255 to discuss how you will be able to meet the edict requirements and possible alternative suggestions. We want to keep all our holiday and fall events as safe as possible.

The CDC website has some suggestions also: http://www.cdc.gov.
