FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT) — Local health officials announced that 14 more Allen County residents have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total to 112 cases on Thursday.

Two more people have also died in Allen County due to COVID-19.

The Allen County Department of Health said the county now has 112 Coronavirus cases and nine deaths as of Thursday afternoon.

The Department said because of a delay in the private lab reporting to the state, the case count provided by the Indiana State Department of Health may not always immediately match Allen County’s case numbers.

Officials say testing for COVID-19 is currently unavailable on-demand or by request because of the nationwide shortage.

Patients must currently meet ISDH’s criteria to be tested, and strict protocol must be followed to ensure no one else is exposed while a mucus specimen is collected from the individual.

Anyone with a fever of 100 degrees and a cough should first call their healthcare provider to discuss their symptoms and determine the next course of action.
