Fifteen new hospitalized cases were identified today for 178 (16%) of 1,139 cases
Seven of the new cases have no identified risk factors. Community-based transmission continues to increase in the State and has been identified in all counties with cases. Most of the remaining cases have either had travel to domestic or international locations or have had close contact with a person with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis.
DHHS has also announced five additional deaths related to COVID-19. We offer our sympathies to the family and friends.
