The Pennsylvania Department of Health reports that that the number of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 in Indiana County did not change from 89 in the last 24 hours. Indiana – the 15701 zip code – has the most confirmed cases with 28. The county has 22 ventilators and none are in use.
For a third straight day, the percentage of recovered cases in the state has climbed. As for noon today, 60 percent of all positive tested Covid-19 cases in the state have recovered, an increase of one percent from Saturday. The state offers this definition of recovered: “Individuals who have recovered is determined using a calculation, similar to what is being done by several other states. If a case has not been reported as a death, and it is more than 30 days past the date of their first positive test (or onset of symptoms) then an individual is considered recovered.”
Among neighboring counties, Westmoreland reports that the number of recorded positive cases increased by three to 440. Armstrong County’s total of positive cases remained at 58. Jefferson County stayed at seven positive cases. Cambria County increased by one to 57.
The number of positive cases in Pennsylvania reached 67,713, an increase of 730 from Friday. The 26 to 49 year old age group has the most positive cases with 37 percent of the 67,713 cases. Reported deaths in Pennsylvania attributed to confirmed cases reached 5,124, an increase of 28 in the last 24 hours.
These positive tested totals reflect how many people have tested positive since the Department of Health started recording and not how many people are currently ill.
While 67,713 have tested positive in the state, 328,382 have tested negative. In Indiana County 1,151 have tested negative.
