Indiana’s number of new COVID-19 cases keeps heading back up. Another 878 cases were reported in Thursday’s update from the Indiana Department of Health. That’s the biggest single-day increase in two months.
The local area appears to be holding steady, though. Marshall County had three new cases in Thursday’s update, while Starke and Pulaski counties each had one. Only one new COVID-19 death was reported in Indiana Thursday.
Half of all Hoosiers age 12 and up are now fully vaccinated, but the local area continues lagging behind. Less than 42 percent of eligible Marshall and Pulaski County residents are fully vaccinated. Starke County’s rate is lower still, at less than 34 percent.
