    State report shows COVID-19 cases lessening

    Cameron and Potter counties are at the low level of community transmission of COVID-19, while McKean and Elk are at a moderate level, according to a report released Wednesday.

    The percent positivity for the week of March 5 to 11 showed McKean County’s dipped from 4.9 to 4.7% and showed three fewer new cases of COVID-19 during the current time frame, as compared to Feb. 26 to March 4. The incidence rate for the most recent time frame showed 51.7 per 100,000 residents.

    Elk County’s percent positivity showed an improvement, from 4.1 percent down to 2.7 percent. There were three fewer new cases of COVID-19 during this time frame. The incidence rate was 33.4 per 100,000 residents.

    Potter County’s percent positivity showed a slight backslide, from 5.6% to 6.6%. There were four additional positive cases during this time frame as compared to the last, and an incidence rate of 54.5 per 100,000 residents.

    Cameron County’s percent positivity showed a spike, going from 1.6% to 4.8%, with only one additional case of COVID-19 during the most recent time frame. The incidence rate was reported as 45 per 100,000 residents.

    “While case counts continue to decline, percent positivity decreases, and more and more Pennsylvanians are vaccinated, we still are reporting thousands of cases a day and that is still concerning,” Gov. Tom Wolf said. “We are on the right course. As the weather gets warm, please remember to wear a mask, practice social distance and wash your hands frequently as the virus still has a presence in our communities.”

    As of March 11, the state had seen a seven-day case increase of 12,483 cases; the previous seven-day increase was 13,542 cases, indicating 1,059 fewer new cases across the state over the past week compared to the previous week.

    The statewide percent-positivity remained the same at 5.7 percent when compared to last week. There are now 29 counties that have a positivity rate lower than 5 percent. There are no counties reporting over 20 percent positivity rate.
