Most of Indiana remains in the higher risk categories of Covid-19 spread with orange and red dominating the state's coronavirus map.

 

Putnam, Parke, Clay and Hendricks counties are all listed as Red this week.  Montgomery and Morgan counties are Orange.

 

Indiana has reported a dip in Covid-related hospitalizations this week but intensive care units are still stressed.  Over 2500 patients were in hospitals with Covid, as of Tuesday.   That number dropped since Monday but is still double the numbers from one month ago.

 

Covid patients were reportedly taking up 32% of the available ICU beds in the state which are at 82% capacity.

 

22 of the state's 92 counties are in the Red category, highest level for Covid-spread, on the state's dashboard map.  67 are at the next level below in Orange.
