Despite the emergency authorization of a vaccine for COVID-19 for the first time on Friday, the numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths locally continues to rage on steadily with each local county adding more than 200 new cases over the past week, according to data released Monday by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
In Mifflin County over the past week, 21 additional deaths attributed to the virus were reported, meaning now 76 Mifflin Countians’ lives have been claimed by COVID-19. There were another 486 cases reported this week, moving Mifflin County’s total to 2,811 since the pandemic began.
In Juniata County, 222 new cases were reported, which crossed it over the dubious milestone of 1,000 cases at 1,044 total. Another nine deaths were also reported, meaning now 27 in Juniata County have died due at least partially to COVID-19.
