The Allegheny County Health Department is reporting 500 new COVID-19 cases on Monday and one new death.
These number follow 527 new cases on Sunday.
“The continued increase in new COVID cases is beyond concerning. This past week, I joined with the chief medical officers of our region’s health systems to talk about our growing concerns,” Dr. Debra Bogen, Director of the Health Department, said on Sunday.
“Despite our cautionary messages, the number of cases is continuing to increase rapidly. While we are better prepared today than when we first began seeing cases in March, we must still be proactive in reducing the spread of the virus.”
