The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) Friday announced that 510 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 44,140 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 remain steady. As of today, more than 36 percent of ICU beds and nearly 84 percent of ventilators are available.
A total of 2,403 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, an increase of 9 over the previous day. Another 192 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.
To date, 453,890 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 444,252 on Thursday. The new tests reported include approximately 1,400 negative tests dating from May onward from a lab that recently began reporting negative results to ISDH’s electronic system.
Any Hoosier seeking COVID-testing can obtain it through one of the state-sponsored OptumServe sites, regardless of whether they are at high risk or have symptoms.
