INDIANAPOLIS Indiana is again seeing a steady climb in COVID-19 cases.
The state reported another 878 new cases for July 21. That s nowhere near the numbers seen at the start of the pandemic. But there is an upward trend in the last few weeks. Health officials and data analysts continue to preach vaccination as the best way to prevent serious infection.
The Marion County Public Health Department brought the COVID vaccine downtown with a mobile clinic over four days during the past two weeks. The state vaccination rate for eligible Hoosiers 12 and older is 50.1 percent. Indianapolis is just slightly higher at 51.3 percent.
