EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Vanderburgh County added 29 new cases of COVID-19 Tuesday, according to the Indiana State Department of Health's statewide dashboard.
That makes a total of 2,806 COVID-19 cases in Vanderburgh County since the first case emerged on March 19, according to the ISDH.
The ISDH dashboard now offers four separate figures for positivity rates — the percentage of people tested who come up positive for COVID-19. In Vanderburgh County, the "unique individuals" positivity rate was 7.5% cumulative and 7.7% over the seven days covering Aug. 26 to Sept. 1.
An "all tests" positivity rate was 4.3% cumulatively and 3.2% over the same seven-day period.
A total of 37,533 individuals have tested for COVID-19 since March 9, with 48,721 total tests administered.
In Tuesday's reporting, the school-age demographic of children age 0-19 held steady at its recent rise to 13.3% of positive cases in Vanderburgh County. The statewide figure is 12.3%. On May 21 —when Vanderburgh County had just 228 COVID-19 cases in all — just 3% involved individuals 19 or younger.
The number of COVID-19 cases that remain active in Vanderburgh County is no longer available. The Vanderburgh County Health Department's dashboard had been providing that number — but the local agency stopped reporting COVID-19 data in July, ceding control of all local data to ISDH. The state agency has taken over local contact tracing and case investigation but doesn't issue a number of local active cases.
The ISDH updates its online dashboard of COVID-19 data daily, including deaths, as it tracks the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
