By John Estridge from ISDH data

COVID-19 numbers in the Whitewater Valley are very good on Labor Day, September 7.

After two days of double-digit gains, Fayette County had just one additional COVID-19-positive test result, increasing that county’s total to 376. There were no new deaths in the Whitewater Valley associated with COVID-19.

In Franklin County, it was the fourth out of the last five days for no positive test result cases in the county. The number remains at 280 with 25 deaths.

Union County had but one positive COVID-19 test result, bringing that total to 69. Union County has not had any deaths associated with the virus.

For the state, the number of positive test results eclipsed the 100,000 barrier with 596 new positive test results, making that total 100,394. There were also four new deaths, making 3,144 in Indiana.
