The Indiana State Department of Health announced Thursday that 6,654 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and private laboratories.

This breaks the record for the most amount of COVID-19 cases reported in a single day in Indiana. Previously, the highest day was Wednesday with 5,085.

That brings to 230,965 the total number of Indiana residents known to have had the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.

Indiana’s total number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 is 4,563, an increase of 51 from the previous day’s total.
