Operative words
To preserve PPE for health care providers who are battling the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning April 1, 2020, all health care providers whether medical, dental or other, and health care facilities, whether hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, dental facilities, plastic surgery centers, dermatology offices and abortion clinics, are directed to cancel or postpone elective and non-urgent surgical or invasive procedures... This prohibition shall not apply to any procedure that... would not deplete the hospital capacity needed and available to cope with the COVID-19 disaster, or utilize in any way PPE (exempting gloves). This provision supersedes the non-essential surgical procedure directive in Executive Order 20-04, paragraph 7 (ACS tracker quotation).
Enforcement
Ind. Code 10-14-3-34 (Class B misdemeanor)
Notes
EO 20-04 (Mar. 16, 2020) para. 7 had already directed postponement of non-essential surgeries.
