710 Hoosiers are in ICU with #COVID19, one fewer than yesterday and the fourth straight drop, but a jump in non-#COVID patients drops the number of open Indiana ICU beds to 218. Overall, 3,460 Hoosiers are hospitalized with COVID, 97 more than yesterday after a three-day decline.
12,126 new Indiana #coronavirus cases, with 25% of today's batch of tests coming back positive. The 7-day positivity rate, which runs a week behind, sets a 15th straight record at 30%.
77 newly reported Indiana #coronavirus deaths, all in the last week; this is the first @StateHealthIN report with no belated reports from 2021 (though there could be more later). The 2-year death toll rises to 19,643; counting presumptive #COVID19 deaths, the total is 20,385.
2nd straight day with every county >15%, IDH's high-risk line; the data are a day ahead of those used in IDH's risk scores, which will be updated tmrw. (Correction from yesterday: there are 11 orange-rated counties, not 4.) Adams is lowest at 15.7%; Hendricks is highest at 37%.

All 92 counties are now rated red (high risk) on @StateHealthIN's weekly risk score.
16,502 new Indiana #coronavirus cases, 2nd-highest total ever, but 3rd week-over-week drop in 5 days.

24.3% of today's batch of tests were positive. The 7-day positivity rate, which runs a week behind, holds steady at a record 30%. It's the 1st time since Dec 26 it hasn't risen.
118 newly reported Indiana #COVID19 deaths, all but 13 in the last five days (but with one late report from 2021), push the death toll to 19,761. IDH has retracted three presumptive #COVID deaths, for a total toll of 20,500.

Debate begins in Indiana House on final vote on bill limiting employer #vaccinemandates.
House Majority Leader Matt Lehman: "This bill is not about the vaccine itself; it's about the people affected" by mandates. #INLegis
Lehman points to nurses who testified they fear getting fired for being unvaxed, after working for 9 months of pandemic before #vaccine became available.

Last week's #SCOTUS ruling means those nurses aren't affected by this bill; they're still required to get vaxed or get fired.

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.

Indiana records 7,000 new #coronavirus cases for the first time -- and blows right through that milestone to top 8,000 for the first time, with 8,451, nearly 1,800 above the previous high. The state also sets its 11th #COVID hospitalization record in 12 days, with 2,634.
25 newly reported #coronavirus deaths bring Indiana's death toll to 4,638. Counting presumptive #COVID19 deaths, the total death toll is 4,888.
Indiana set new highs with nearly 69K new tests and nearly 26K tests of 1st-time patients, but positivity rates were 12.3% for all tests (about the same as yesterday, down slightly) and 32.5% for 1st-time tests (highest in four days).

There are a couple of new items in @GovHolcomb's new executive order, most notably enforcement against businesses which don't comply. State and local health departments are to issue a verbal warning, followed by a written order. Businesses still in defiance can be shut down. 1/
Besides health departments, police, the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, and @IDHS have enforcement power. Businesses are required to have employees #MaskUp, and post signs directing customers to do so, but the order says only that customers "should" wear masks. 2/
Businesses are also required to mark 6-foot #socialdistancing and have sanitizer readily available. Restaurants and bars are required to keep tables 6 feet apart, with patrons required to remain seated. 3/
