Marshall County has reported its biggest single-day increase in COVID-19 cases since early January. Another 47 cases were reported in Friday’s update from the Indiana Department of Health. Starke and Pulaski counties also remained in the double digits, with 18 new cases in Starke County and 15 in Pulaski County.
Pulaski County’s seven-day all-tests positivity rate is at 11.4 percent, according to the Indiana Department of Health’s calculations. Marshall County’s is 9.1 percent, while Starke County’s is 8.8 percent. Those percentages are almost double when limited to unique individuals. More than 2,400 Hoosiers are hospitalized with COVID-19 statewide, the highest number since mid-January.
