It is always good to keep the latest COVID-19 numbers in mind when looking at our local situation.  Indiana may be doing better than other states, but the latest update shows more than 2,200 people have died in Indiana due to this virus.

In Hamilton County, 96 COVID-19 deaths have been reported to the state.  We still do not know how many of those fatalities are from Fishers.  The new city health department has been promising to provide those numbers, but none have been released as of this writing.

The Fishers Health Department reports that as of early Friday afternoon, just over 2,8000 local residents have been COVID-19 tested by the city, representing 3% of the total population.

46 of those tests have come back positive.  Of those positive cases, 8 were determined to have no symptoms.

Reminder…always wear your mask in public.  It helps protect those around you.  Wash you hands regularly.
