As seen on Wednesday's updated County Metrics Map, Vanderburgh County was the only southwest county to return from Red to Orange on Wednesday, with Perry County showing no change and remaining Orange.

Individuals in Orange counties may gather in groups of up to 50, while in Red counties, gatherings are restricted to 25 individuals.
