In the past two weeks, the county has added 67 new cases of the virus.
Statewide, the health department reported 631 new positives, increasing Pennsylvania’s total to 103,396. The new cases do not include data from Philadelphia, which DOH says it did not receive on Wednesday.
Among the state’s total cases 100,483 are confirmed and 2,913 are probable.
A total of 968,081 patients in Pennsylvania have tested negative, an increase of 15,083 since Tuesday. Over the past seven days, 148,209 COVID-19 tests have been administered in Pennsylvania with 6,094 positive test results.
An estimated 75 percent of COVID-19 patients in the state — about 77,547 — have recovered, according to a DOH calculation.
The health department also reported 25 new deaths attributed to the virus statewide, bringing Pennsylvania’s total to 7,063. DOH has reported a total of nine COVID-19 deaths, the most recent on Thursday. The Centre County Coroner’s Office has only confirmed six, the most recent of those on May 27. Because the health department lists deaths by county of residency, the coroner’s office may not have been notified of resident deaths that occurred in other parts of the state.
Across Pennsylvania, 735 COVID-19 patients are hospitalized, with 93 requiring use of a ventilator as of noon on Wednesday. In Centre County, two COVID-19 patients are hospitalized.
