Health Department Asks Community To Fill Out An Online SurveyThe Kosciusko County Health Department reported Tuesday there was no change in the number of positive COVID-19 cases confirmed in the county, but it has put together a survey for the community.
The survey can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VYQHQQ7
It asks questions like race, year you were born, if you have or had any symptoms of COVID-19 and if you’ve been tested for the virus or were denied testing.
KCHD reported on Tuesday a total of 22 positive cases, one death and at least 10 cases that have recovered. The number of positive cases has not changed since it increased from 20 on April 15 to 22 on April 16.
The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) on Tuesday announced that 431 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 12,097 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.
The new cases and new tests reported Tuesday are lower than expected due to a technology issue and should not be interpreted as a decline in new infections, according to a news release from the ISDH. The additional positive cases not included in Tuesday’s report will be captured in the coming days and reflected appropriately, the release states.
A total of 630 Hoosiers have died to date. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH; the deaths reported Tuesday occurred between April 7 and 20.
To date, 67,264 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 64,649 on Monday.
Marion County had the most new cases, at 133. Other counties with more than 10 new cases were Allen (11), Cass (20), Elkhart (14), Grant (19), Hamilton (17), Hendricks (12), Johnson (24), Lake (49), St. Joseph (31) and Warrick (10). The Lake County totals include results from East Chicago and Gary, which have their own health departments.
The complete list of counties with cases is included in the ISDH COVID-19 dashboard at coronavirus.in.gov. Cases are listed by county of residence. Private lab reporting may be delayed and will be reflected in the map and count when results are received at ISDH. The dashboard will be updated at noon each day.
The dashboard also has been updated to make corrections based on updated information provided to ISDH.
