February 17 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: State Reports 3,413 New Cases, 193 More Deaths

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 27,089 COVID-19 cases and 685 deaths in Chester County.

The state has reported 3,413 new cases and 193 more deaths.

Chester County’s 27,089 cases represent 3.0 percent of Pennsylvania’s 902,650 total cases.
