PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - The Allegheny County Department of Health has confirmed two additional cases in Allegheny County, bring the total to six.

One of the people is in their 60s and the other individual is in their 50s.

Both are isolated in their homes.

The county says that many other cases are pending.

 The county says their number is different from the state numbers at this time because the results from the county are from a commercial lab.

"They are reported directly to the local health department and then must be input into the statewide system," the county said.

In addition to the six cases in Allegheny, Washington County also has a confirmed case.  

"In order to best serve residents with questions and concerns about COVID-19, ACHD has partnered with United Way 211 to offer a 24/7 hotline. Please call 888-856-2774 to speak with a representative."
