INDIANAPOLIS — Two more deaths from illness related to the coronavirus were reported Wednesday in Indiana, giving the state a total of 14 deaths.

Indiana’s number of confirmed COVID-19 cases grew by 115 to reach a total of 477 across the state late Tuesday, following corrections to Indiana’s previous total reported Tuesday, the Indiana State Department of Health said.

Marion County, home of Indianapolis, had most of the state’s new coronavirus cases reported Tuesday — 67 — bringing its total to 226 cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.

Central Indiana accounts for the majority of the state’s confirmed cornavirus illnesses. Aside from Marion County’s, Hamilton County, just north of Indianapolis, had 30 cases and Johnson County, just south of the state capital, had 24. Hendricks County, west of Indianapolis, had 15 cases. Hancock County had eight cases. (See story at the top of Page A1.)
