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 7,775 COVID-19 cases and 376 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 45 cases and zero deaths were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 7,775 cases and 376 deaths.

In the same time period, the state’s Department of Health reported 2,063 new cases, which is one of the highest single-day totals since the pandemic began. However, multiple media outlets are reporting that a faulty data file put through the department’s system may have caused overlap from the numbers reported the previous day.

Chester County’s 7,775 cases represent 4.1 percent of Pennsylvania’s 188,360 total cases.

The following are the number of confirmed cases and deaths in nearby counties, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health:
