More recent figures weren t readily available Tuesday.

Trine University is eyeing a return to normalcy for fall semester.
This will mean fully seated classes, full resumption of student activities and fans at athletic events, university President Earl Brooks II announced in a message to students, faculty and staff this week.
“We intend to return to the Trine University that existed before the pandemic,” he said in a statement.
COVID-19 positivity rates have remained near or below 1% on the Trine campus throughout the spring semester, according to a news release.
