CORONAVIRUS
Arizona adds under 200 new cases of COVID-19
Posted

Arizona is reporting under 200 additional cases of COVID-19 as of Monday morning.
According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, there are 201,835 cases and 5,029 deaths of the novel coronavirus in the state, up 174 and down one from Sunday, respectively.
The AZDHS said the subtraction of one death from the total is a result of its efforts to remove duplicate records from the data.
In turn, no new deaths were reported Monday morning.
The number of cases could be higher because many people have not been tested, and some can be infected without feeling sick.
In a tweet, the AZDHS says Friday’s COVID-19 dashboard shows the lowest number of patients in ICU beds since April, the lowest inpatient numbers since May and the lowest number of patients on ventilators since hospitals began reporting this data.
Maricopa County shows a case rate of 2,981 cases per 100,000 residents, using 2019 population estimates. The state rate is 2,773. Santa Cruz County has the highest at 5,867 cases per 100,000 residents.
As of Monday morning, Arizona has the lowest R-naught in the nation at 0.86, according to rt.live. This is the average number of people who become infected byan infectious person. Less than 1.0 is ideal, officials say.
Over 400 testing sites are available statewide. Visit www.azdhs.gov/testing.
The coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms such as fever and cough for most people. The vast majority of people who are diagnosed with COVID-19 recover.
But for some — especially older adults and people with existing health problems — it can cause more severe illness including pneumonia, and death.
