The Pennsylvania Department of Health confirmed Tuesday, April 7, that Lebanon County now has 145 cases of the novel coronavirus, a jump of 21 cases compared to figures published Monday.

The current statewide positive count is 14,559, with 240 deaths. The state has recorded 76,719 negative tests.

As far as neighboring counties:

  • Berks County – 369 cases, four deaths
  • Dauphin County – 155 cases, one death
  • Lancaster County – 490 cases, 14 deaths
  • Schuylkill County – 119 cases

Here’s how Lebanon County’s confirmed case count has grown over the past few weeks.

Citing HIPAA concerns, the Pennsylvania Department of Health does not release municipality-level or other demographic attributes of confirmed cases to either the public or to Lebanon County administration.

Here is a chart maintained by the Pennsylvania Capital-Star which shows how total tests across the state compare to positive tests.

The state does not track, at least publicly, the total number of tests at the county level.
