(Harrisburg) — Another 43 deaths have been attributed to COVID-19, bringing the total so far to 6,319, the Health Department reported Wednesday.
The agency said there were also 335 additional positive cases, and nearly 80,000 since the pandemic broke out earlier this year.
Pennsylvania has now gone four straight days with fewer than 400 new cases, the longest such streak since cases began to grow quickly in late March.
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.
