In November of 2020, Governor Eric J. Holcomb instituted a county metric map with a color-coded system that reported on the prevalence of the novel coronavirus in each of Indiana’s 92 counties. The system measures weekly cases per 100,000 residents and the 7-day all tests positivity rate. Based on the average scores for those two metrics, counties are assigned a color.

Blue means that a county has a minimal community spread, yellow is for moderate, orange is moderate-to-high, and read means that the county is experiencing high community spread.
