Based on the information found on the County’s COVID-19 website and the Monday afternoon commissioner press conference, here is quick snapshot of the spread of coronavirus across Montgomery County and the Delaware Valley.

There were 75 new positive Montgomery County COVID-19 cases reported on Monday, up significantly from the 27 new cases reported Sunday. The increase is due to the number of test results reported rather than a dramatic increase in the number of cases reported.

The positive cases are from 27 municipalities, only two of which, North Wales and Telford, are reporting their two cases.

A breakdown of Sunday’s reported new positive cases follows:

  • Age Range: 11 – 89
  • Age Brackets: (4) 10 – 19, (9) 20 – 29, (13) 30 – 39, (10) 40 – 49, (9) 50 – 59, (11) 60 – 69, (11) 70 – 79, (8) 80 – 89
  • Gender: 36 females, 39 males
  • Hospitalized: (13) No, (57) Unknown, (5) Yes

The 75 new positive cases brings the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases to 506 countywide.

Of those 506 confirmed cases countywide, 259 are male, 243 are female.

The average age of individuals with COVID-19 is 47.9 years old with the youngest patient being a 1 year-old Royersford boy and a 95 year-old Abington man, the oldest.

Fiftytwo of the County’s 62 municipalities are home to at least one individual with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
