More counties are entering the blue status on the Indiana Department of Health’s County Metrics Map. The blue status means a low community spread of COVID-19.
Marshall County is in the blue status this week while Starke County and Pulaski County are in the yellow status on the map. The yellow status means there is a moderate spread of COVID-19 in the community.
