February 5 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: State Reports 4,688 New Cases

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 25,988 COVID-19 cases and 654 deaths in Chester County.

In the last 24 hours, 115 new cases and one death were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 25,988 cases and 654 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state reported 4,688 new cases.

Chester County’s 25,988 cases represent 3.0 percent of Pennsylvania’s 861,674 total cases.
