Indiana reported 417 new cases of COVID-19 and 11 deaths, public health officials said Sunday.

The Indiana State Department of Public Health said there have been a total of 37,397 coronavirus cases in Indiana during the pandemic with 2,121 deaths.

There were another 182 probable deaths based on clinical diagnoses, but there was no positive test on record, health officials said.

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. But for others, especially older people and the infirm, it can cause severe symptoms and lead to death.

Indiana has administered 304,263 COVID-19 tests overall.
