The Indiana State Department of Health is reporting Monroe County now has 36 positive cases of COVID-19/Coronavirus out of the state’s 3,039 cases. Seventy eight Hoosiers have now died from the disease, and 16,285, have been tested.
37.2 percent of the deaths are people 80 years old, and over.
Editor’s note: The data does not show how many people might by asymptomatic, or how many people were sick, but not tested, and there can be a delay between the time of testing, and when results are positive.
A study in Iceland may show that as many as 50-percent of people infected with the virus have no symptoms:
