Indiana’s confirmed cases of the coronavirus rose by 1,140 on Saturday, state health officials said.
The Indiana Department of Health said a total of 92,434 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported since the start of the pandemic.
Another eight people have died of the virus, bringing the total number of deaths to 3,066.
In Monroe County, the case number rose by 25 to 1,055 and the county death toll remained the same at 36. Some 26,844 Monroe County residents have been tested.
Gov. Eric Holcomb this week extended Indiana’s statewide face mask order for another month, saying it was still needed to control spread of the coronavirus.
Holcomb issued the order in July, which requires face covering use by anyone ages 8 and older in any indoor public or business areas and at outdoor public spaces when sufficient distancing can’t be maintained.
The Republican governor also extended limits on crowd sizes for restaurants, bars and public events.
