INDIANAPOLIS —The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced that 409 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 2,565 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.
Sixty-five Hoosiers have died to date. Deaths have occurred over multiple days and are reported based on when data are received by ISDH.
To date, 14,375 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 13,373 on Tuesday.

The figures reported incorporate tests collected within Bartholomew County and run through the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) or commercial laboratories. The number of positives of Bartholomew County residents may include testing that was conducted out of county. Conversely, the number of total tests may also include submissions for non-Bartholomew County residents. The positive count listed is only for Bartholomew County residents.
