Montgomery Adds 72 Coronavirus Cases; Releases New COVID-19 Data

ROCKVILLE, MD — Montgomery County tallied 72 new coronavirus cases and zero new deaths on Monday, according to the Maryland Department of Health.

That brings the countywide totals to 19,540 confirmed infections and 776 fatalities. The latest death toll, however, does not include the 39 others whose deaths were linked to the virus, but never confirmed by a lab test. They are considered "probable deaths" — and will not be added to the fatality count until officials can confirm them.

The county continues to have the highest number of deaths in the state. It also has the second highest number of confirmed cases, after Prince George's County, which has 25,537, according to the latest figures.

Statewide, there have been 104,669 confirmed cases, 3,554 deaths, and 140 "probable deaths." Of the 407 currently hospitalized for the virus, 103 are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

According to the latest state data, Marylanders between the ages of 30 and 39 make up the most COVID-19 cases (18.6 percent; 19,563 cases).
