Pennsylvania’s positive test rate for COVID-19 has dropped for the first time in six weeks, Gov. Tom Wolf’s office said Monday.
The positive test rate for COVID-19 dropped to 8.6%, a decrease from 9.6% percent the previous week. The rate had been on the rise since late March, although it remained well below the peak of 16% in December.
“This week we saw a decrease in reported cases and a lower statewide percent positivity – which is encouraging news,” Wolf said in a statement. “We need all Pennsylvanians to stay the course. We need to get vaccinated, continue washing hands, wearing a mask and social distancing.”
