By John Estridge from ISDH data

Franklin County has another death attributed to COVID-19, bringing the total to 25.

Again, there is apparently no longer a Franklin County Health Department Facebook page to give any additional information on the 25^th death. Also, Friday was the day set aside by Franklin County Health Nurse Angie Ruther to give a weekly update from the Franklin County COVID-19 Task Force. Previously, that was done on the Facebook page.

According to the Indiana State Department of Health website, the number of positive COVID-19 test results increased by three to 273.

Union County had one additional positive test result, which brings the UC total to 60. There have not been any COVID-19-related deaths in Union County.

For the state, the positive test results went up by 832 to 91,313 and deaths increased by 11 to 3,058.
