Marshall County’s COVID-19 case count has now surpassed 900. The Indiana State Department of Health says 901 Marshall County residents have tested positive since the start of the pandemic, according to Wednesday’s update. That’s an increase of six from Tuesday. Starke County also added another case, for a total of 213.
No new resident cases have been reported in any of the long-term care facilities in Marshall, Starke, or Pulaski counties, according to this week’s report. However, those figures are delayed by a week, under the state’s procedures. Miller’s Merry Manor in Plymouth is still the only local facility to have had residents test positive, but that apparently hasn’t happened since August 4.
Overall, Indiana reported 871 new cases of COVID-19 Wednesday, bringing the total up to 95,750. Another 13 Hoosiers have died, for a total of 3,106.
