HARRISBURG (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - There are now 15 cases of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania.

The latest case is in Montgomery County.


Earlier Wednesday morning, two adults in Bucks County who live together and were infected out-of-state tested positive.

They are confined to their home with mild symptoms.

13 of the cases are presumed positive and two have been confirmed by the CDC.

Those two cases are in Delaware and Wayne Counties.

COVID-19 has yet to reach Western Pennsylvania, but health officials expect it is only a matter of time until it reaches the Pittsburgh area.

 "While we anticipate that there will be more Pennsylvanians with COVID-19 in the coming days and weeks, it is important for residents to know the commonwealth is prepared and to be prepared themselves,"PA Health Secretary  Dr. Rachel Levine said. "Right now, you have a higher chance of testing positive for COVID-19 if you have traveled to a country or state with known community outbreaks or have come in contact with someone who has the virus. We are working with the health care community across Pennsylvania to keep them informed, consult on patient testing and ensuring they have the resources they need to care for patients."
