The Indiana State Department of Health on Tuesday reported 10,164 new COVID-19 cases and 134 additional deaths because of the virus.

Statewide hospitalizations due to COVID-19, which had fallen for four days in a row, rose to 3,204 on Monday, up from 3,137 the previous day. The pandemic high was 3,519 on Jan. 13. COVID patients occupy 32.6% of Indiana’s intensive care unit beds. The state has 13.2% of its ICU beds available overall.

Every county in Indiana was colored red on the state’s advisory-level map Tuesday for the fifth report in a row. Red is the highest level on the four-color map, which means every county is seeing at least 200 new cases week per 100,000 residents and seven-day positivity rate for all tests of 15% or more.

The state said 74.3% of COVID test samples checked for their variant strain in January have been the Omicron variant while 25.3% were the Delta variant.

More than 3.62 million Hoosiers had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of Monday at 5 a.m. More than 1.63 million Hoosiers have gotten vaccine boosters.

The department said 60.1% of Indiana residents 12 and older and 62.1% of residents 18 and older are fully vaccinated.
