This includes wearing facial masks, social distancing and continuously sanitizing.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health on Tuesday reported 3,119 new cases of COVID-19 and 65 reported deaths – the most of each in at least two weeks. The state now totals 970,717 cases and 25,652 deaths since the pandemic reached Pennsylvania a year ago. The health department also reported more than 3.7 million doses of vaccine have been distributed since December. More than 1.3 million Pennsylvanians are fully vaccinated and 77,000 people are getting shots daily.
