February 26 Morning Update on COVID-19: Chester County Records 119 New Cases, One More Death

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 27,851 COVID-19 cases and 705 deaths in Chester County.

Yesterday, 119 cases and one death were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 27,851 cases and 705 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state reported 2,356 new cases and 81 more deaths.

Chester County’s 27,851 cases represent 3.0 percent of Pennsylvania’s 922,990 total cases.
