INDIANAPOLIS —The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today (4/21/20) announced that 431 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19. 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 today are lower than expected due to a technology issue and should not be interpreted as a decline in new infections. The additional positive cases not included in today’s report will be captured in the coming days and reflected appropriately. 

There have now been an additional 61 new virus deaths. The total is now 630 Hoosiers that have died to date.

There have also been 67,264 tests 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.
