9,870 new Indiana #COVID19 cases, with 28.3% of today's batch of tests positive...but two of the last three days have been lower than the week before, for the first time since Dec 27. Cases for the week are still up 8% from a week before.
The 7-day positivity rate, which runs a week behind, sets a 14th straight record at 29.7%.
Indiana hospitals now have <2K staffable ICU beds, but a sharp drop in ICU patients (both #COVID and non-#COVID) means 252 of them are open, most in a week. 711 COVID patients are in ICU, 1 fewer than yesterday & fewest since Dec 11. Total hospitalized = 3,363, fewest in 10 days.
No newly reported Indiana #COVID19 deaths today, but there were 75 over the weekend, when @StateHealthIN does not update its dashboard. The death toll rises to 19,566. IDH has also identified seven more presumptive #COVID deaths, for a total toll of 20,308.
Every county in Indiana now has a positivity rate over IDH's 15% high-risk red line, including the four which had been rated "approaching high risk" last Wed before more tests came in. Jay County has the lowest rate at 15.6%; Hendricks is highest at 37.6%.
