Feb. 9 update: Centre County reports 88 new cases of COVID-19 between Monday and Tuesday
Centre County added 88 cases of COVID-19 over the past two days.
The state did not release case data on Monday due to technical issues, so two days of data were reported on Tuesday. The Health Department said Monday’s counts are low because of server maintenance and Tuesday’s counts reflect reporting made to catch up.
The county has had 11,957 cases since March 20 of last year (11,089 confirmed and 868 probable). There have been 58,232 negative tests.
The Health Department removed one death from Centre County’s total, bringing it to 200. More than three-quarters of those deaths have occurred in residents of nursing or personal care homes.
Mount Nittany Medical Center is treating 24 COVID-19 patients between the ages of 49 and 96, a spokesperson said Tuesday.
