As in past weeks, the Department of Health has released their findings on Wednesday, and divided them by ZIP code. We have taken a look at 25 ZIP codes with the highest numbers of news cases each week, as well as the 10 ZIP codes with the highest percentage increase in cases.
This week, the same ZIP code is at the top of both lists: 16239, in Marienville, Forest County. New cases have nearly doubled there since last week, meaning that over 1,100 people in the area have tested positive for COVID-19 - and that is in an area that, according to the same records from the Department of Health, has a population of 5,188.
People from throughout Pennsylvania, including several former governors, issued statements on Saturday praising the life of World War II veteran and longtime state government official Patrick Solano. Solano died Saturday
Solano died Saturday at home surrounded by his family, said attorney Frank Nocito, his nephew.
Nocito, 63, remembered Solano as a humble man who befriended and gained the trust of the most notable powerbrokers in the state and nation, but never forgot his roots.
âHe was truly a confidant to all â from presidents to a guy who came from Italy to Pittston. From the highest of the high to the everyday ordinary man, he treated everyone with respect,â Nocito said.
Nocito, who visited Solanoâs home nearly every Sunday since he was a child, said Solano was lifeâs biggest mentor.
