INDIANAPOLIS —The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced it will host free COVID-19 drive-thru testing clinics from Monday through Wednesday in Allen, Clark, Decatur and Lake counties. This is a correction to the previous schedule announced earlier today.

The clinics will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day through Wednesday, or until testing supplies run out. They are open to symptomatic healthcare workers, first responders and essential workers. Testing also is available to symptomatic individuals who live with one of these workers and people who have symptoms of COVID-19 and underlying medical conditions that put them at higher risk, such as obesity, high blood pressure or heart disease.

The locations are:

  • St. Timothy Church
    1600 W 25th Ave, Gary, IN 46404

  • Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne – Coliseum Campus
    3800 N. Anthony Blvd, Fort Wayne, IN 46805

  • Decatur County Fairgrounds

  • Ivy Tech Community College Sellersburg
    8204 Hwy 311, Sellersburg, IN 47172

Testing is limited to one individual per vehicle. All individuals must be Indiana residents and present state-issued identification at the time of testing.

ISDH also announced today that 577 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private laboratories. That brings to 11,210 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.

A total of 562 Hoosiers have died to date. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH and occurred over multiple days.

To date, 61,142 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 56,873 on Saturday.

Marion County had the most new cases, at 266. Other counties with more than 10 new cases were Cass (19), Delaware (18), Grant (20), Hamilton (20), Hendricks (38), Johnson (17), Lake (12), Madison (10) and St. Joseph (15). The Lake County totals include results from East Chicago and Gary, which have their own health departments.

The complete list of counties with cases is included in the ISDH COVID-19 dashboard at www.coronavirus.in.gov. Cases are listed by county of residence. Private lab reporting may be delayed and will be reflected in the map and count when results are received at ISDH.

The dashboard will be updated at noon each day.
