One new covid-19 case was reported in Westmoreland County on Friday, bringing the countywide total to 444.

No new deaths were reported. That leaves the countywide total at 38, according to data provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Allegheny County reported 19 additional cases of the coronavirus Friday, bringing the total number of cases countywide to 1,870. No new deaths were reported, leaving the total at 151.

The state on Friday continued to report several more deaths than the county, with 162.

Allegheny County officials have said that the reason for the difference is in the state’s reporting databases. The county has access to only one of the two systems from which the state collects its data.

There have been 70,735 total cases and 5,464 deaths statewide.
