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 12,841 COVID-19 cases and 413 deaths in Chester County.

Yesterday, 578 cases and 13 deaths were recorded for a two-day period, bringing the county’s totals to 12,841 cases and 413 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state reported 11,406 new cases for a 24-hour period, by far the most for a single day since the pandemic began.

Chester County’s 12,841 cases represent 3.3 percent of Pennsylvania’s 386,837 total cases.
