WARSAW – Kosciusko County’s number of positive cases for COVID has risen from 5 to 8 in a one-day span.

The total released Wednesday was five.

In the past, the county has been releasing the number of tests being collected in the county, but Kosciusko County Health Officer William Remington said Wednesday that they decided to discontinue releasing those numbers because they are not an accurate reflection of what is happening at that point, due to reporting factors.

While Indiana has recorded 78 deaths from the virus, no deaths have been reported in Kosciusko County.
