(Harrisburg) — Pennsylvania has recorded a third straight day of under 400 new positive coronavirus tests, according to Department of Health data Tuesday, the longest such stretch since new cases began regularly exceeding that level in late March.
Still, the number of people dying from it daily remains in the dozens.
Officials reported 33 additional deaths and 362 new positive cases of the coronavirus Tuesday. That brings the state’s totals to nearly 80,000 cases and 6,276 deaths since early March.
Of those, 75% have recovered, the department said.
The number of infections is thought to be far higher than the state’s confirmed case count because many people have not been tested and studies suggest people can be infected without feeling sick.
For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in a couple of weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems are at higher risk of more severe illness, including pneumonia, or death.
The Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center will reopen to the public on June 25. To allow for social distancing, building capacity will be limited to less than 50 percent and guests will have timed tickets for programs. In addition, all touchscreen exhibits and some of the films will be unavailable during this initial phase of reopening.
The building will be open Thursdays through Mondays (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays) from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Gettysburg Foundation encourages guests to purchase tickets at GettysburgFoundation.org or via phone at 877-874-2478 and learn more about reopening protocols before visiting.
