Over the past five days, there have been 37 new cases reported locally — 13 on Saturday, none on Sunday, none on Monday, eight on Tuesday, and 16 on Wednesday.

During that stretch, the county surpassed 7,000 cases per 100,000 residents — the number stood at 7,052.6 as of Wednesday’s reporting.

Of the 2,764 total cases in the county to date, 2,101 have been confirmed and 663 are probables.

The department reported that there had been 16 COVID-positive cases at Warren General Hospital over the past week.
