Centre County Adds 1 New Case of COVID-19

Centre County has had 153 cases of COVID-19 since its first was reported on March 20, including one new positive reported on Sunday by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

The county has added 24 new cases in the past two weeks.

Statewide, 511 cases were reported on Sunday, bringing Pennsylvania’s total to 71,926. It was the 21st consecutive day the state has reported fewer than 1,000 new cases.

Across Pennsylvania, there have been 5,555 COVID-19 deaths, with 18 new deaths reported on Sunday. The health department has reported seven deaths for Centre County, but the county coroner’s office has confirmed only six. DOH lists deaths by county of residency, so it is possible a Centre County resident died elsewhere in the state.

The health department estimates that 67 percent of patients with the virus — or about 48,190 Pennsylvanians — have recovered. Among the state’s total cases, 69,916 are confirmed and 2,010 are probable.
