There have been a total of 2,251 coronavirus deaths overall since the start of the pandemic and 40,430 total cases in the state, the Indiana State Department of Health announced. Health officials say there are another 182 probable deaths with no positive test on record.

The state has administered 355,829 COVID-19 tests to date.

Effective Monday, any Hoosier seeking COVID-testing can obtain it through one of the state-sponsored OptumServe sites, regardless of whether they are at high risk or have symptoms.

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 entered the latest stage of Gov. Eric Holcomb's reopening plan on Friday, allowing additional businesses to reopen and fill at higher capacities.

Under the plan, restaurants can open to 75% capacity. Bars, movie theaters and other entertainment venues can operate at 50% capacity. Zoos and museums can reopen, and gatherings of up to 250 people are allowed as long as attendees stay 6 feet apart.
