November 17 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: State Reports Record-Breaking 5,900 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 9,999 COVID-19 cases and 386 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 126 new cases and two deaths were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 9,999 cases and 386 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state reported exactly 5,900 new cases, the record for a single day since the pandemic began.

Chester County’s 9,999 cases represent 3.6 percent of Pennsylvania’s 275,513 total cases.

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

County # of Cases # of Deaths
