The Indiana State Department of Health announced there are 612 new cases of COVID-19 and 45 deaths.

There are a total of 13,039 cases and 706 Hoosiers have died.

Health officials say the numbers reported are lower than expected because of technology issues, not due to a decline in new infections. The cases not included due to the technology issue will be added at a later date.

To date, 72,040 tests have been reported to the department.

Marion County had the most new cases, at 160.
