Butler County on Monday reported new COVID-19 deaths for the sixth day in a row as well as added 87 new confirmed cases between Sunday and Monday.

According to Monday's report by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the county added one death Sunday and one Monday. The department releases both Sunday and Monday data on Mondays.

This is the sixth straight day recording a death in the state's data with a total of 11 in that span.

The county also reported at least one death daily from Nov. 10 to Nov. 16, which totaled 14 during that span.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, 57 county residents have died. A death recorded for the county lists the deceased's permanent residence, regardless of the physical location of the death.

On Monday, Butler Health System reported one death at Butler Memorial Hospital and one at Clarion Hospital.

Butler Memorial is currently treating 26 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, all of whom have confirmed cases. Five of those patients are being treated in the intensive care unit.

Clarion Hospital reported 12 inpatients, nine of whom have confirmed cases, while the remaining three are awaiting test results. None of Clarion's hospitalized are being treated in intensive care as of Monday.

“Pennsylvania continues to see more cases rise each day,” said state Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine in a news release Monday. “With counts above 5,000, 6,000 and now over 7,000 cases reported per day, we will need to prioritize case investigations to prevent outbreaks.”

The state reported 3,379 hospitalized statewide with 775 patients in intensive care. There were also 11,837 new confirmed cases between Sunday and Monday. Also Monday, the state reported a PCR positivity rate of 11.1% from Nov. 13 to last Thursday, which was an increase from 9.6% the week before.

Butler County's own PCR positivity rate was listed at 10.2% Monday, only a .1% increase from the week before; however, its daily hospitalizations continued to rise, reflecting the trend seen at Butler Memorial.

On Monday, Levine again called on residents across the state to wear a mask, socially distance themselves from others and practice proper hygiene.

“It is important for Pennsylvanians to be united and do their part to prevent the spread in their communities,” she said.
