February 24 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: State Reports 2,786 New Cases, 76 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 27,732 COVID-19 cases and 704 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 96 cases and six deaths were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 27,732 cases and 704 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state has reported 2,786 new cases and 76 more deaths.

Chester County’s 27,732 cases represent 3.0 percent of Pennsylvania’s 920,634 total cases.
