PA: Department of Health Provides Update on COVID-19, 207 New Positives Bring Statewide Total to 851
The Pennsylvania Department of Health now says there are 207
additional positive cases of COVID-19, and four new deaths, bringing the
statewide total to 851 in 40 counties. Bradford County has confirmed its first
presumptive positive case of COVID-19. State Health Department officials say
they will continue to monitor the individual. As WENY News reported, Guthrie
confirmed a Pennsylvania resident tested positive for the coronavirus at
Corning Hospital before returning home to the Commonwealth. Officials now say this
is not the same case as the Bradford County patient who tested positive.
Bradford County health officials say they have been preparing for the virus,
with the anticipation that it would appear in the county.
