Based on the information found on state and county’s COVID-19 website and the Commissioner’s Thursday afternoon 3:00 PM press conference, here is quick snapshot of the spread of coronavirus across Montgomery County, the Delaware Valley and Pennsylvania.

There were 113 new positive Montgomery County COVID-19 cases reported on Thursday. The increase, the highest daily number of new cases reported by the County thus far, was due to an uptick in the number of returned test results reported to the county.

The positive cases are from 35 municipalities, two of which, Bridgeport (1) and Red Hill (1), reported their first cases.

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

• Age Range: 1 month to 94 years-old
• Age Brackets: (4) 0 – 9, (9) 10 – 19, (16) 20 – 29, (22) 30 – 39, (21) 40 – 49, (16) 50 – 59, (12) 60 – 69, (8) 70 – 79, (5) 80 – 89, (1) 90 – 94
• Gender: 62 females, 48 males
• Hospitalized: (6) Yes, (58) Home, (49) Unknown 

The 113 new positive cases brings the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases to 707 countywide.

Of those 707 confirmed cases countywide, 349 are male, 348 are female.

The average age of individuals with COVID-19 is 47.2 years old with the youngest patient being a 1-month-old baby and a 95 year-old Abington man, the oldest.

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