They are reported in two separate locations on Indiana’s website.

Indiana reports cumulative but not outbreak data. Indiana does provide facility-level data. Indiana reports staff and resident cases and staff and resident deaths as separately. Data is cumulative since March 1, 2020. Indiana provides cumulative totals for resident and staff cases and resident and staff deaths and number of facilities with a case. Indiana does not report outbreak data. Indiana provides facility-level data. All cases and deaths reported are verified by Indiana State Department of Health through positive COVID-19 diagnostic lab results.

Facility notes
The state provides facility-level cumulative data. The state does not provide facility-level outbreak data. Cumulative facility-level data was first reported by the state on 2020-07-23.
Because each state reports facility-level data differently, CTP has produced a number of scripts to make the dataset as standardized and comprehensive as possible. This state uses the following scripts: post_processing, standardize_data. More information on each of these scripts can be found in our Airtable Facility Script Annotations.
