Another 431 Hoosiers have tested positive for coronavirus since Monday, the Indiana State Department of Health said today in their daily update. A total of 12,097 Hoosiers have now tested positive for the virus, out of 67,264 Hoosiers tested overall. A total of 630 Hoosiers have died from the virus.
The health department said in a news release that the new cases and new tests reported Tuesday were lower than expected due to a technology issue “and should not be interpreted as a decline in new infections.”
The department said the additional positive cases not included in Tuesday’s report “would be captured in the coming days and reflected appropriately.”
Dr. Kristina Box, the state health commissioner, has said that she expected the coronavirus illness peak to arrive in late April for the Indianapolis area and the first weeks of May for rest of the state.
The state map released today shows 38 cases in Daviess County, 18 in Knox, 6 in Martin, 16 in Dubois and 1 in Pike.
