Data from the State Department of Health shows Indiana is testing fewer people for COVID-19 per 100,000 residents than all its neighboring states and the U.S. as a whole.

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

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.

The Indiana State Department of Health says as testing ramps up, the number of confirmed cases will continue to rise.

The changes affect bars and restaurants, hospitals and government agencies, among other groups.

The Indiana State Department of Health has tested more than 70 people, but there's also private testing going on. That makes it difficult for health officials to know how many Hoosiers are being tested for coronavirus daily.

The most recent patients with presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 the disease caused by the virus are from Adams County, in the northeast of the state, and Boone County, just northwest of Indianapolis, the state Department of Health said.

The Indiana State Department of Health announced Sunday it has identified a second positive case of illness from the new coronavirus.

The Indiana State Department of Health announced Thursday it has initiated its Pandemic Preparedness and Response Plan in reaction to the global coronavirus outbreak.

Data from the report shows 34 deaths were Hoosiers 65 years or older, and Marion and Lake counties have seen the highest number of flu-related deaths.
