Pennsylvania reports 13 new deaths among COVID-19 patients
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania officials say there were 13 additional deaths among COVID-19 patients over the prior day, raising the state’s running running total to more than 500. The Health Department announced Sunday there were also nearly 1,200 new cases, for a statewide total of nearly 23,000 infections over the course of the coronavirus pandemic. There were 29 coronavirus-related deaths reported in Pennsylvania on Thursday and 78 on Friday. But officials have cautioned that inconsistent reporting on weekends can result in artificially low numbers. The Pennsylvania House plans to return Tuesday to voting session, and the chamber may consider legislation that would allow more businesses to open during the pandemic.
