BACK TO ORANGE: County’s COVID spread metric improves
12/24/20 6:59 AM
HANCOCK COUNTY The county’s COVID-19 advisory level was upgraded Wednesday to a less severe status, but it still shows indicators of a high level of community spread of the virus.
After two weeks in red the Indiana State Department of Health’s most severe advisory level and representing very high community spread Hancock County is now orange.
The state health department assigns advisory level colors based on scores derived from two metrics, one of which is weekly cases per 100,000 residents. The other is seven-day positivity rates for all tests, although Dr. Kristina Box, Indiana state health commissioner, said Tuesday that those have been calculated incorrectly.
