Butler County’s confirmed cases of COVID-19 remained at 232 again Friday, according to state data.

Friday’s report by the state’s Department of Health showed Butler County’s total of confirmed cases of county residents did not rise. The report also listed 31 “probable” cases of COVID-19 among county residents, but results from those tests have not yet been determined.

The county’s death toll remained at 13.

Meanwhile, the recovery rate statewide increased to 77 percent. The recovery rate is determined by the number of people who have not been reported dead more than 30 days past the date of their first positive test.

“The commonwealth’s careful, measured approach to reopening is working as we see case counts continue to decline even as many other states see increases,” said Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine in a news release Friday.

As of Friday, eight new counties entered the green phase of reopening, including Dauphin, Franklin, Huntingdon, Luzerne, Monroe, Perry, Pike and Schuylkill. A total of 54 counties are now in the green phase with 13 counties remaining in the yellow.

Wolf announced 12 more counties moving to the green phase next Friday, including Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Erie, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia and Susquehanna.

“It’s a testament to the many residents and businesses that have sacrificed over the past three months to stay home and adhere to the guidance the state has provided to protect lives and livelihoods,” Wolf said in a news release Friday.

Lebanon County will be the last remaining county in the yellow phase.

According to Wolf’s administration, the Lebanon County commissioners voted “2-1 along party lines” to open the county’s economy in May. Since then, the county has seen an uptick in COVID-19 cases.

“Lebanon County’s partisan, politically driven decision to ignore public health experts and reopen prematurely is having severe consequences for the health and safety of county residents,” Levine said.

But for those in the green phase, masks and other social distancing measures will be an important part of continuing to stay healthy, officials said.

“The virus has not gone away,” Levine said. “Each of us has a responsibility to continue to protect ourselves, our loved ones and others by wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing and washing our hands frequently.”
