Pennsylvania COVID-19 Early Warning Monitoring Dashboard update June 18 –24:
Gov. Tom Wolf and Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam released a weekly status update detailing the state’s mitigation efforts based on the COVID-19 Early Warning Monitoring System dashboard, highlighting a seven-day case increase of 995 a statewide percent positivity of 1.2% and the second consecutive week without any counties with substantial transmission status.
“We are continuing to make progress toward stopping the spread of COVID-19 throughout the commonwealth, as many Pennsylvanians have taken responsibility for their own health and the health of their communities by getting vaccinated,” Wolf said. “This week, we are reporting less than a thousand confirmed cases, another consecutive week of decreased statewide positivity and achieving 75% of Pennsylvanians receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.”
As of Thursday, June 24, the state saw a seven-day case increase of 995 cases; the previous seven-day increase was 1,384 cases, indicating 389 fewer new cases across the state over the past week compared to the previous week.
The statewide percent-positivity decreased to 1.2% from 1.4% when compared to last week. There are now 65 counties that have a positivity rate lower than 5%. There are no counties reporting over 10% positivity rate.
“Over the last year and a half, Pennsylvanians have been resilient in the fight against COVID-19 every step of the way,” Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said. “While the threat of COVID-19 has decreased, it does remain a threat in our communities. We must stay alert: get tested if we experience symptoms, answer the call when a public health professional is calling and continue to wear a mask in places where it is required.”
For the week ending June 25, there were 55 counties in the low level of transmission, including Bucks County.
