Gov. Eric Holcomb, State Health Commissioner Kristina Box and other state leaders will host a media briefing to provide updates on COVID-19 and its impact on Indiana.

As cases of coronavirus spread across the Midwest, we know there are lots of questions about it -- including how to avoid getting sick.

The Indiana State Department of Health announced Monday three new deaths from the novel coronavirus, bringing Indianas total to 35. More than 11,500 have been tested, and as of Monday, 1,786 Hoosiers have tested positive for the virus.

Iowa is among the states with the fewest COVID-19 cases, but it still has more than 300 confirmed cases and the total increases every day. The state's hospitals, large and small, face a common problem as they get ready for a possible spike in patients: finding enough equipment.

State Health Commissioner Kris Box says the peak of Indiana's COVID-19 infections is still more than two weeks away.

What happened this week in Indianas COVID-19 response? Gov. Eric Holcomb announced a Stay-At-Home order, the states primary got pushed back and manufacturers are pivoting to make health equipment.

Unlike Indiana, Ohio and other Midwest states that have stay-home orders, Missouri has been more lenient in handling the coronavirus crisis.

As many as 742,500 U.S. residents could need ventilators in a severe outbreak similar to the 1918 flu, according to a 2005 Health and Human Services report.

Three more deaths from illness related to the coronavirus were reported Thursday in Indiana, boosting the state's total to 17 deaths as coronavirus cases rose to nearly 650 statewide amid the pandemic.

Workers at Schneck Medical Center in Seymour interacted with a patient who came in for treatment but did not initially show any symptoms of the disease caused by the coronavirus.
