HEALTH DEPARTMENT UPDATES STATEWIDE COVID-19 CASE COUNTS

 

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced that 330 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private laboratories. That brings to 48,331 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.

 

Intensive care unit and ventilator capacity remains steady. As of today, nearly 43 percent of ICU beds and 84 percent of ventilators are available.

 

A total of 2,505 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, an increase of five over the previous day. Another 193 probable deaths have been reported based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH and occurred over multiple days.
