Methods and Findings: We combined prevalence estimates from a statewide random sample with Indiana vital statistics data of confirmed COVID-19 deaths (4). We accounted for nonresponse by weighting prevalence estimates for age, race (dichotomized as White or non-White), and Hispanic ethnicity to reflect state demographics. We calculated the IFR by age, race, sex, and ethnicity on the basis of the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths as of 29 April 2020, divided by the number of infections. Discussion: By using SARS-CoV-2 population prevalence data, we found that the risk for death among infected persons increased with age.	./cache/cord-273192-r1wt1oyg.txt	./txt/cord-273192-r1wt1oyg.txt
