HARRISBURG, (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Health leaders have announced two more presumptive cases of coronavirus in Pennsylvania bringing the total to six in the commonwealth.
Two new cases announced Sunday are in Montgomery County, in addition to two others announced there Saturday.
The other two cases include an adult in Delaware County and another one in Wayne County.
All six cases are described as mild.
"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 that they should be prepared too," said PA Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine. "Right now, each of our presumed positive cases 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 ensure they have the resources they need to care for patients."
COVID-19 can include coughing, fever and shortness of breath.
Symptoms can appear in as little as two days or as long as 14 after exposure.
Those most at risk are the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions.
No vaccine is available.
