All four local counties have reached the low level of community transmission of COVID-19.

On Tuesday, a report given by Gov. Tom Wolf and Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam indicated improvements across the state.

“Today we are not reporting any counties in the substantial level of transmission – which is a great indicator of our fight against COVID-19,” Wolf said. “We need to remain resilient in the fight against COVID-19 starting with getting vaccinated and making our communities a safer place.”

In McKean County, the positivity rate was 2.7%, there were 7 fewer new cases of COVID-19 than during the previous week and the incidence rate was 2.5 per 100,000 residents.

In Elk County, the positivity rate was 1.4%, there was one less new case than the prior week, and the incidence rate was 3.3 per 100,000 residents.

In Potter County, the positivity rate was 6.7%, there were 5 fewer new cases of COVID and the incidence rate was 36.3 per 100,000 residents.

In Cameron County, the positivity rate was 7.4 percent, there were no new cases and the incidence rate was 45 per 100,000 residents.

As of June 17, the state had seen a seven-day case increase of 1,370 cases; the previous seven-day increase was 2,228 cases, indicating 858 fewer new cases across the state over the past week compared to the previous week.

The statewide percent-positivity decreased to 1.4 percent from 1.9 percent when compared to last week. There are now 64 counties that have a positivity rate lower than 5 percent. There are no counties reporting over 20 percent positivity rate.

“As we continue to fight COVID-19, testing, case investigations and contact tracing continue to play a critical effort in our response,” Beam said. “Please remember to get tested if you experience COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed and answer the phone when a public health professional is calling.”
