General Data For IU Health’s Statewide System

IU Health has completed 42,436 virtual screenings for COVID-19 through its Virtual Visits app, which is free. This number is up almost 1,500 from last week.

IU Health’s Pathology lab has completed 49,909 COVID-19 tests. In last week's report 41,513 tests had been done.

Resources Being Used Throughout IU Health’s Statewide System

IU Health reports an adequate supply of PPE and medical supplies, though global demand is high. If you are interested in donating supplies, food, or other items contact the IU Health Foundation.  

29 percent of ventilators are currently in use. 

Numbers for IU Health’s ICU beds is going up: 70 percent occupied this week to 68 percent occupied last week.

Numbers specific to IU South Central Region Hospitals - IU Health Morgan, Bloomington, Bedford and Paoli all make up the South Central Region for IU Health

At IU Health’s South Central Region Hospitals, 5 confirmed cases are being treated for COVID-19. An additional 8 people are waiting on test results. This totals 13 people currently being treated at the South Central Region Hospitals. This is down from last week's total, which was 39. 

99 people have been discharged from IU Health’s South Central Region Hospitals, which is the same as last week's number. 

Of the 655 South Central Region staff members who have been tested, 65 of those tests were positive. There are 3,800 staff at the IU South Central Region Hospitals.

So far, 677 staff have been quarantined and 655 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.
