EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Vanderburgh County added just seven new cases of COVID-19 Wednesday, according to the Indiana State Department of Health's statewide dashboard.
It's likely too early to say whether that number, the lowest in months, portends a downward trend or constitutes a one-day blip. Vanderburgh County reported 29 new cases Tuesday, with 298 new tests administered. Wednesday's figure of seven new cases came against 205 newly administered tests.
The school-age demographic of children age 0-19 increased again Wednesday to 13.4% of positive cases in Vanderburgh County. The statewide figure held at 12.3%. On May 21 —when Vanderburgh County had just 228 COVID-19 cases in all — just 3% involved individuals 19 or younger.
The new data makes a total of 2,813 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 6.7% over the seven days covering Aug. 27 to Sept. 2.

An "all tests" positivity rate was 4.2% cumulatively and 3.1% over the same seven-day period.
A total of 37,652 individuals have tested for COVID-19 since March 9, with 48,925 total tests administered.
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.
