The death total over the last two weeks reflects a decrease from the 511 reported in the two weeks prior, but deaths can take several days or weeks to be reported. Many newly reported deaths are people who died before this week.
The number of cases over the last two weeks increased compared to the 21,348 reported in the two weeks prior. Positivity increased from 3.8% to 6.1%. That’s for new cases only and excludes anyone who previously tested positive.
