LaGrange, Noble and Kosciusko counties remain among Indiana’s top five counties for COVID-19 infection rates, according to a new pandemic dashboard put together by the Harvard Global Health Initiative.

 

Allen County is the ninth-worst county in Indiana for infections of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

 

Based on a seven-day moving average, the dashboard is part of a risk-assessment tool that allows individuals to check the current risk for COVID-19 in the community where they live.

 

The dashboard measures infection rates per 100,000 residents. LaGrange is measured at 19, Noble is at 17 and Kosciusko County is at 15.6.
