Being in the "blue" category means gatherings can increase to 250 people as long as the building doesn't exceed its capacity. Special gatherings can have more than 250 people if clear Covid plans are submitted.
Elkhart must remain in the "blue" category for two weeks before restrictions can be lifted.
