For the second straight day, Indiana recorded more than 8,000 positive test results in the ISDH daily update.
Friday, December 4, the number was 8,003 for a total of 367,329. And 84 deaths in the state attributed to COVID-19 were reported for the same time span for a total of 5,822.
All three counties – Fayette, Franklin and Union – reported increases in their respective daily positive test results. Of the three, Union County was statistically the worst as it has less population than its two neighboring counties. Union County increased to nine positive test results out of 36 tests given for a 25 percent rate. That total now stands at 312. Fayette County was in the 20s again with 21 positive test results for a total of 1,679. Franklin County had 14 positive test results, double its Thursday total, for 816.
None of the three counties recorded additional deaths which were attributed to the virus. The totals still remain; Fayette, 39; Franklin, 28; and Union, two.
