IU Health has completed 59,585 virtual screenings for COVID-19 through its Virtual Visits app, which is free. That's up from 57,504 last week.
IU Health’s Pathology lab has completed 154,399 COVID-19 tests. In last week's report 139,953 COVID-19 tests had been done.
Of the 6,594 IU Health statewide staff members who have been tested, 648 of those tests were positive.
So far, 6,846 staff have been quarantined and 6,424 have returned to work.
IU Health says if a staff member shows symptoms consistent with COVID-19, they are asked to temporarily self-isolate. Then, they are screened through the IU Health's virtual clinic to determine if they meet criteria for a COVID-19 test. If the staff member's test result is negative, they touch base through the virtual clinic again and can return to work after 24 hours without fever and without use of medication. If a staff member tests positive for the virus, they abstain from work for a minimum of a week, starting when symptoms began to 72 hours after being symptom-free.
