Indiana State Department of Health news release:
ISDH updates COVID-19 case counts
INDIANAPOLIS (June 1, 2020) — The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced that 292 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 34,830 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.
Intensive care unit and ventilator capacity remain steady. As of today, nearly 41 percent of ICU beds and nearly 84 percent of ventilators are available.
A total of 1,976 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, an increase of 9 over the previous day. This includes one previously probable case that was later lab-confirmed. Another 166 probable deaths have been reported based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record, following a correction to the previous day’s total. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH and occurred over multiple days.
To date, 265,896 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 261,546 on Sunday.
Hoosiers who have symptoms of COVID-19 and those who have been exposed and need a test to return to work are encouraged to visit a state-sponsored testing site for free testing. Individuals without symptoms who are at high risk because they are over age 65, have diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or another underlying condition, as well as those who are pregnant, live with a high-risk individual or are a member of a minority population that is at greater risk for severe illness, also are encouraged to get tested.
