When a confirmed case is reported, the CCHD recommends that people remain calm, continue following the preventative actions listed below from the CDC, and abide by the travel advisory and closures enacted by state and local government officials. The closures and policies for social distancing put in place are intended to help slow the spread of COVID-19, before any positive cases are confirmed and as additional positive cases are confirmed.
Testing is being performed on a daily basis by Logansport Memorial Hospital and being sent to a private lab. COVID-19 tests being sent through private laboratories are not included in the number of tests reflected on the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) website. Only tests performed by ISDH are included on their website. However, the ISDH website does reflect the total of confirmed cases in the state.
