Governor Holcomb in Quarantine after Members of Security Detail Test Positive for COVID-19

Governor Eric Holcomb is in quarantine, after several members of his security detail have reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. A statement from the Governor’s Office Tuesday says Governor Holcomb and First Lady Janet Holcomb are considered close contacts, and State Health Commissioner Dr. Kris Box has advised them to quarantine.

They’re expected to get tested later this week, and the Indiana Department of Health will trace contacts. Dr. Box and Indiana Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Lindsay Weaver will lead the weekly COVID-19 briefing Wednesday, while Governor Holcomb plans to join by phone.
