Let\u2019s continue doing what got us this far so we can beat COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The county has seen a slight increase in COVID-19 cases over the past several weeks. With holiday gatherings and spring break travel coming up and the Governor rolling back the state mask mandate, Sutter is concerned about the possibility of a spike in cases. <\/p>\n<p>However, because crises previously seen with hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 are not imminent, the Department will not implement any local restrictions at this time. Sutter instead strongly encouraged Allen County residents continue behaviors practiced during the past year of the pandemic that work to prevent the spread of this deadly virus for the health of the whole community, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wearing a mask over their mouth and nose<\/li>\n<li>Keeping at least six feet distance from others and avoiding crowds<\/li>\n<li>Washing hands regularly with soap and water or using hand sanitizer when handwashing is not possible<\/li>\n<li>Staying home when sick<\/li>\n<li>Disinfecting and cleaning high-touch surfaces regularly<\/li>\n<li>Getting vaccinated as soon as possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Community leaders who attended and offered comments in support of the effort encouraging residents to continue precautionary measures included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Therese Brown, Allen County Commissioner<\/li>\n<li>Tom Henry, City of Fort Wayne Mayor<\/li>\n<li>Mike Nutter, Fort Wayne TinCaps President<\/li>\n<li>James Kahn, Owner of Hoppy Gnome, Proximo and Baker Street<\/li>\n<li>Luther Whitfield, New Covenant Worship Center Senior Pastor<\/li>\n<li>Herb Hernandez, Greater Fort Wayne Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Director<\/li>\n<li>Marilyn Hissong, East Allen County Schools Superintendent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The following written comments were also offered in support by local leaders:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWe have a great opportunity with vaccines now being available to anyone who is 16 years and older, and we encourage everyone to consider receiving the vaccine,\u201d said Terry Redmile, plant manager for BFGoodrich. \u201cIn the meantime, we also encourage everyone to continue wearing a mask when they are unable to social distance as a means to protect and respect one another.\u201d <\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe applaud and support these efforts as we have come a long way over the past year and see the finish line in sight,\u201d said Brian Bauer, president of IU Health Fort Wayne. \u201cWe want to encourage everyone in continuing to stop the spread and receiving vaccine when eligible.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Vaccine is now available to anyone 16-years-old and older at sites throughout Indiana.
