Today I signed an executive order to allow retired and inactive EMS professionals to join the fight against #COVID19.

The executive order permits retired and inactive EMS professionals to provide supplemental health care services in Indiana during this public health emergency 1/2

without reinstatement or approval by the Indiana EMS Commission if they work under the supervision of a licensed EMS or health care professional. 2/2

Under the executive order, retired and inactive EMS professionals are also allowed to provide primary patient care for patients as part of emergency response, transports and facilities with a temporary certification or licensure from @IDHS.
