Indiana inched closer to the 100,000 mark of confirmed COVID-19 cases on Sunday, reporting 851 new cases and two additional deaths.

There have been 99,804 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic, according to the Indiana Department of Health. The death toll has reached 3,140.

Health officials said there are another 224 probable deaths based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record.

In Monroe County, the total COVID-19 case number rose by 49 to 1,434, and the county death toll remained the same at 36, the department said. 

Some 37,882 Monroe County residents have been tested, it said.

The state reported more than 1.1 million COVID-19 tests have been conducted overall. 

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.
