October 29 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: County Records 70 New 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 8,163 COVID-19 cases and 379 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 70 cases and zero deaths were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 8,163 cases and 379 deaths.

In the same time period, Pennsylvania reported 2,202 new cases.

Chester County’s 8,163 cases represent 4.0 percent of Pennsylvania’s 202,876 total cases.
