ISDH Releases New Map To Help Schools, Communities Track COVID-19

Each metric will then receive a score of 0-3 and the average of the two scores will be the county’s score for that week.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) – The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) has released a new COVID-19 tracking method.

This color-coded map is now available through the ISDH website and is there to help both schools and counties track the spread of the coronavirus.

State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said the map is a guideline; the state will not mandate any school to halt in-person instruction based on any of these levels.

This new systems on based on two metrics:

  • The number of new cases in the past week per 100,000 residents
  • Percent positivity as determined by the number of positive tests divided by the total number of tests administered.

Each metric will then receive a score of 0-3 and the average of the two scores will be the county’s score for that week.
