Pennsylvania Coronavirus Total Now at 6

The 2 latest cases of COVID-19 coronavirus in Pennsylvania are each in Montgomery County.

On Saturday, Gov. Tom Wolf confirmed 2 initial cases of the viral outbreak in Montgomery. On Friday, the first two cases in Pennsylvania were confirmed, one in Delaware County and another in Wayne County.

Two positive cases of COVID-19 coronavirus have been reported each day in Pennsylvania since Friday, March 6.

All 6 cases share a few common bonds:

  • Each is experiencing mild symptoms associated with coronavirus infection.
  • And each is in self-containment at their homes.
  • All 6 contracted coronavirus following exposure to it overseas.

Right now, Pennsylvania health officials urge anyone who’s been to China, Iran, South Korea, or Italy anytime over the last month to practice social distancing from the general public for 2 weeks. That means to limit their exposure to other people, including skipping work or school.
