November 5 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: Another Record-Breaking Day in the Keystone State

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 8,581 COVID-19 cases and 381 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 75 new cases and zero deaths were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 8,581 cases and 381 cases.

Meanwhile, the state has reported exactly 2,900 new cases, the record for a single day since the pandemic began and the 31st consecutive day of more than 1,000 new cases.

Chester County’s 8,581 cases represent 3.9 percent of Pennsylvania’s 220,566 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
