Coronavirus Update: County Reports 83 New Cases on Sunday, Only 18 New Cases on Monday

Montgomery County officials announced 101 new COVID-19 cases and three additional deaths on Monday afternoon, though those new cases and deaths represent a two-day increase due to the county not providing an update on May 10.

Those new case breakdown is as follows:

  • 83 new cases reported on May 10
  • 18 new cases reported on May 11

Data shows that of the combined 101 cases reported on Sunday and Monday, 18 occurred in long-term care facilities, leaving a total of 83 new cases reported outside of those facilities over the two-day period.

The countywide total now stands at 5,110 confirmed positive cases, and the countywide death toll from the coronavirus now stands at 417, of which approximately 80% have come from residents of long-term care and congregate living facilities.

As of Monday afternoon, 93 of the county’s long-term care and congregate living facilities have reported positive cases, including 1,409 positive cases among residents and 562 positive cases among staff members.

Municipal totals and 14-day averages were not available at the time this article was posted, as the county website has not been updated since May 9.

Earlier on Monday, Pennsylvania reported 543 new coronavirus cases, bringing the state’s total to 57,154 cases. The state also announced 24 new confirmed deaths, bringing the total to 3,731 across the commonwealth.
