March 8 Afternoon Update on COVID-19: State Reports Two-Day Total of 3,176 New Cases

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 28,772 COVID-19 cases and 722 deaths in Chester County.

The county recorded 196 new cases and zero deaths from the weekend, bringing its totals to 28,772 cases and 722 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state has reported a two-day total of 3,176 new COVID-19 cases.

Chester County’s 28,772 cases represent 3.0 percent of Pennsylvania’s 950,161 total cases.
