TIMES CREATIVE - Data from ISDH as of Thursday, January 7, 2021

As of noon January 7, 2021, Indiana State Department of Health’s Clay County data for COVID-19 shows the county continues to be in the RED category on the Dashboard’s Color Code System.

The ISDH Dashboard’s Color Code System data is updated each Wednesday using information from the previous two-weeks to change ratings if necessary. A county must remain at a lower Weekly Two-Metric Score for two consecutive weeks to move down to a lower advisory level. (The ISDH COVID-19 Data Report is updated daily at noon. However, it regularly uses data 24-48 hours old to help ensure the report’s accuracy.)

COVID-19 positive cases reached 1,996, with 32 deaths reported.
