State health officials have released statistics about coronavirus infections and deaths at individual nursing homes after the state declined to reveal the data for more than two months.
The data shows that just over half of the people who have died from COVID-19 infections in Indiana, or 1,390 out of 2,683 deaths, were residents of long-term care facilities. More than 43 long-term-care facilities statewide had 10 or more residents die from the disease.
In Bartholomew County, at least 12 of the 45 people who have died from the virus were residents of three local long-term care facilities, according to the Indiana State Department of Health.
