October 16 Morning Update on COVID-19: State Reports Massive Increase in Cases

By

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.

Based on the information found on Chester County’s COVID-19 Dashboard, there are a total of 7,534 COVID-19 cases and 375 deaths in Chester County.

COVID-19 is officially present in all 73 of Chester County’s municipalities.

Chester County’s 7,534 cases represent 4.2 percent of Pennsylvania’s 177,520 total cases.
