Latest Pennsylvania Coronavirus Data: 36 More Deaths, 700+ Cases

HARRISBURG, PA — Pennsylvania's coronavirus case total rose by 719 Thursday, and 36 new deaths were reported.

The statewide case total is at 92,867. There have been 6,848 total COVID-19 deaths in the state, with 4,667 occurring in nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

Allegheny County reported an increase of 158 cases. In Philadelphia County, there were 161 new cases.

Also on Thursday, Gov. Tom Wolf ordered that almost all evictions and foreclosures in Pennsylvania be postponed through the end of August.

The executive order protects renters and homeowners through Aug. 31 if they have not received help from a new Pennsylvania housing program and aren't otherwise getting help from the federal government or other assistance.

Nationally, there have been more than 3 million COVID-19 cases, and experts continue to caution that the virus's acceleration is an alarming trend that must be curbed.

In an interview with The Hill, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stopped short of calling for full shutdowns, despite suggesting otherwise in a separate interview Wednesday.

At least five states — Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia — set single-day records for new infections on Wednesday, according to the New York Times database.
