December 15 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: State Reports 9,556 New Cases

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 16,154 COVID-19 cases and 442 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 297 new cases and one death were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 16,154 cases and 442 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state has reported 9,556 new cases.

Chester County’s 16,154 cases represent 3.2 percent of Pennsylvania’s 509,320 total cases.
