December 18 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: Chester County Reports 406 New Cases, Seven Deaths

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 17,052 COVID-19 cases and 459 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 406 new cases and seven deaths were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 17,052 cases and 459 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state has reported 9,320 new cases and 216 more deaths.

Chester County’s 17,052 cases represent 3.2 percent of Pennsylvania’s 538,655 total cases.
