The entire state of Indiana remains in RED on all of the data charts on the Indiana State Department of Health’s COVID-19 Dashboard as of Thursday.

ISDH - Data for Deaths

The four categories used to determine the spread of the virus in communities include:

Weekly 2-Metric Score - 3

Advisory Level - 3/1075 cases increasing

ISDH - Vaccination Data

Weekly Cases Per 100,000 Residents - Unique/newly diagnosed cases

7-Day All Tests Positivity Rate - Total since the beginning of pandemic two years ago - a cumulative rate of 13.1%

Clay County’s unique positivity remains slightly higher (1%) than the state average, with data estimating another spike in the future.

Deaths attributed to COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic have spiked to 78 within recent weeks. As of December 30, 2021, 65 deaths were reported, which increased by 13 in 35 days.

The last spike in local deaths attributed to COVID-19 was 14 reported between November 1 to December 1, 2020.

ISDH’s COVID-19 Vaccination Dashboard reflected that 11,457 Clay County residents are fully vaccinated, with 4,941 booster shots administered.

Throughout Indiana, the dashboard reflects an overall total of 3,650,268 Indiana residents who are vaccinated. Those receiving booster shots total 1,676,611.

CLAY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS COVID-19 DATA

A winter storm forced Clay Community Schools to close for safety reasons. However, students were able to use e-learning.

These closings will delay the COVID-19 data they provide to The Brazil Times.

Coordinator of Health Services for Clay Community Schools Lynn Stoelting, BSN RN, provides a weekly data report to The Brazil Times and the Indiana State Health Department.

The Times will provide this data as soon as it is made available.
