Central Wellness Outreach Center: Pennsylvania testing yields 12 more covid-19 cases
Test results from the Central Outreach Wellness Center, released Wednesday afternoon, show 36 cases of covid-19 spread across five Western Pennsylvania counties at sites where it is testing for the coronavirus.
That’s up a dozen from Tuesday. Figures are only for the places that Central Outreach is testing.
The majority of cases, 20, were from the center’s Pittsburgh testing site. Its Sewickley site registered two new cases, and sites in Carnegie, Crescent, Imperial and Wexford yielded one positive each.
The Irwin testing site in Westmoreland County reported three cases.
Beaver County sites registered five cases, along with one each in Greene and Washington counties.
There are currently 394 tests pending results, center officials reported. Just over 980 tests have been administered, and 6.5% of tests came back positive for covid-19.
The statewide case count passed 1,000 on Wednesday, according to state health officials, and only 23 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties have yet to register an official positive case.
