Allegheny County added 565 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday as well as 29 new deaths.
The additional deaths puts the county at 1,011 deaths since the start of the pandemic
"Passing 1,000 deaths is a grim milestone that I had hoped Allegheny County would be spared. Each of the 1,011 people that have died were loved members of our community. I extend my deepest sympathies to all who have lost loved ones to COVID-19," Director Dr. Debra Bogen said.
Since March of 2020, the county has had 56,827 cases of COVID-19.
