Pennsylvania reported 511 new COVID-19 cases and 18 new deaths from the virus Sunday. To date, the state has reported 71,926 cases and 5,555 deaths. For the past few weeks, the state has reported fewer than 1,000 new cases per day.
Nursing and personal care home residents and employees in 609 facilities across 44 counties represent 18,145, about a quarter, of the state’s total caseload and 3,540, almost two-thirds, of the state’s deaths. Healthcare workers represent 5,455, about 7.5%, of the state’s total caseload.
Gov. Tom Wolf and Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine announced Friday that 16 counties, including Allegheny, will move into the green phase of reopening on June 5. This is in addition to the 18 counties that moved into the green phase at noon.
Wolf and Levine emphasized that the threat of COVID-19 remains and that residents should continue wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining social distance. Even under these loosened restrictions, Levine said, “If you can’t social distance, actually consider whether or not you really have to go out.”
