The Indiana State Department of Health announced on Saturday, April 25, that 718 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and private laboratories. That brings to 14,395 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus.

A total of 785 Hoosiers have been confirmed to have died of COVID-19. In addition, a total of 87 probable deaths have been reported. Probable deaths are those for which a physician listed COVID-19 as a contributing cause based on X-rays, scans and other clinical symptoms but for which no positive test is on record. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH and occurred over multiple days.

Locally, St. Joseph County reported 553 cases. Elkhart County reported 238 cases.

Other counties with more than 10 new cases were Allen (27), Bartholomew (23), Cass (60), Clark (16), Delaware (12), Hamilton (29), Hendricks (24), Johnson (19), Lake (73) and Shelby (22). The Lake County totals include results from East Chicago and Gary, which have their own health departments.

The complete list of counties with cases is included in the ISDH COVID-19 dashboard at www.coronavirus.in.gov.
