STATEWIDE — The State of Indiana has set a new record for the most COVID-19 cases in a month.
The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) says just over 195-thousand have been reported midway through January, which is more than the former monthly record of 173-thousand cases for all of December 2020.
Almost all of the new cases can be attributed to the Omicron variant.

Locally, Dearborn County had 74 positives; Ripley County reported 61 cases; Decatur County checked in with 29, and Franklin County had 14 new cases.
