With updated data from the weekend, the Indiana Department of Health reported the state surpassed 1.9 million confirmed COVID-19 cases.

While COVID may not be top of mind for people anymore, the pandemic isn't over. And for many people who have had COVID, neither is their illness.

The state took more than four months to reach its most recent grim milestone. Indiana’s total COVID-19 deaths is larger than the populations of 27 counties.

Indiana’s weekly average for COVID-19 cases and Hoosiers hospitalized for the virus has grown over the last month.

Indiana added 1,000 new confirmed COVID-19 deaths to its total in about a month, pushing the state past another milestone: 22,000 dead.

All of Indiana’s 92 counties are in the most severe “red” category on the state’s COVID-19 tracking map for the second week in a row.

The Indiana House votes to effectively ban COVID-19 vaccine mandates, sending it to the Senate. Indiana hits one year since it fully vaccinated its first resident. And Indiana surpassed 1.5 million confirmed COVID-19 cases, with some early signs of slowing.

Indiana has set several new records for daily cases since the COVID-19 variant omicron hit the state.

School districts across Indiana are reporting the highest number of staff and student COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic, driven by the highly contagious omicron variant.

This week, Elkhart, Pulaski, Fulton and Kosciusko counties re-entered the “red” category — indicating unchecked community spread of COVID-19 — on the state’s coronavirus tracking map.
