Over 400 new confirmed COVID-19 cases in Cass County prompted an executive order from the mayor of Logansport Monday.

For the second straight day, Cass County led the state in confirmed tests.  Testing of 2200 employees at Tyson in Logansport has sparked the increase.  Every Tyson employee is being tested. The county health department urged Tyson to test its workers when they noticed that many of the people coming down with the virus had some sort of connection to the Logansport plant.

273 Cass County new cases were reported Sunday.  439 in Monday’s update.

An executive order went into effect noon Monday from Logansport Mayor Chris Martin.

Among other counties with ten or more cases in the Monday update were Fulton with 10 and Miami with 28.
