April 17 Afternoon Update on COVID-19 in Chester County
Editor’s Note: The Pennsylvania Department of Health’s daily report for confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Chester County and Delaware County have not accurately reflected the actual number of cases in both counties. This is usually because of Delaware County cases that are incorrectly assigned to Chester County, which the Chester County Health Department corrects prior to reporting. The state’s data then reflects the corrections in its next data update. Consequently, the county’s numbers are the most accurate.

In the last 24 hours, 51 cases and one death were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 773 cases and 27 deaths.
