According to data from the Indiana State Department of Health, the new cases over the last 24 hours bring the state's total since the pandemic began to 75,862.
The 25 additional deaths, a sharp increase from just three reported one day earlier, lift the statewide death toll to 2,863 attributed to the virus.
In all, 9,609 individuals were tested for coronavirus over the last 24 hours, increasing the 7-day positivity rate to 7.7%, up from 7.5% one day earlier, according to public health data.
