(Indianapolis, Ind.) – “Spread the word, not the virus.”

That is the message the Indiana State Department of Health is trying to send to all state residents with their #MaskUpHoosiers initiative.

The ISDH says everyone wears a mask to protect someone – whether its for your grandparents, your kids or the strangers in line at the grocery store.  

Hoosiers are encouraged to share an image of themselves wearing a mask and answer the question: who you wear your mask for?

You can help spread the word by downloading the #MaskUpHoosiers toolkit at www.coronavirus.in.gov.

To date, Indiana has reported 48,626 positive COVID-19 cases (314 new cases on July 6) and 2,524 deaths.
