Arizona above 39,000 cases of COVID-19 after new daily high

Posted

The state of Arizona is reporting the most day-to-day cases of coronavirus since the outbreak started.

According to the Arizona Department of Health Services on Tuesday, there are 39,097 cases and 1,219 deaths of COVID-19, up 2,392 and 25, respectively, from Monday.

The Maricopa County Department of Public Health reports 20,670 cases and 540 deaths in Arizona’s most populous county. State and county numbers may different depending on when data was reported.

The numbers of cases per 100,000 residents in the state is 537 as of Wednesday, using 2019 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Maricopa County is below that at 463. Navajo and Apache counties have rates of 2,478 and 2,777 per 100,000 residents, respectively. Santa Cruz County, at 2,374 cases per 100,000 residents, has now joined those two counties as the only ones above 2,000 cases per 100,000 residents.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. But for some — especially older adults and people with existing health problems — it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
