November 17 Morning Update on COVID-19: County’s Share of State’s Case Total Continues to Decrease
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 9,873 COVID-19 cases and 384 deaths in Chester County.
Over the weekend, 446 cases and zero deaths were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 9,873 cases and 384 deaths.
In the same time period, the state reported 15,226 new cases.
Chester County’s 9,873 cases represent 3.7 percent of Pennsylvania’s 269,613 total cases.
The following are the number of confirmed cases and deaths in nearby counties, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health:
