May 7 Morning Update on COVID-19

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 35,882 COVID-19 cases and 773 deaths in Chester County.

Yesterday, 72 new cases and one death were recorded, bringing the county’s totals to 35,882 cases and 773 deaths.

Meanwhile, the state reported 2,476 new cases and 57 more deaths.

Chester County’s 35,882 cases represent 3.1 percent of Pennsylvania’s 1,166,692 total cases.

The following are the number of confirmed cases and deaths in nearby counties, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health:
