Four More Marshall County Residents Test Positive for COVID-19

Another four Marshall County residents have tested positive for COVID-19. That brings the county’s total up to 805, according to Friday’s report from the Indiana State Department of Health. No new cases were reported in Starke or Pulaski counties.

Fewer tests appear to be coming back positive in the local area, compared to the state as a whole. All three counties had a lower seven-day positivity rate than the state average.

Statewide, another 1,079 Hoosiers have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total to almost 79,000.

Over 1.1 million COVID-19 tests have been given to more than 886,000 Hoosiers.
