Montgomery County officials announced during a press conference today that there are 92 new cases of Coronavirus in the county. That brings the total countywide to 6,779. Included within the daily number are 23 cases from long-term care facilities and nine inmates from the county’s correctional facility.

The number of deaths announced today totaled 13. The total countywide confirmed death total is now 675. The number of probable deaths is 125. Deaths connected to long-term care facilities represent 566 of the 675 deaths or 84%.

The 14-day total of positive tests is 1,275 with a daily average of 91 based on the county’s data. The goal to reach phase yellow set by the governor is to have a 14-day daily average of 30. The county is currently off that pace by 61. Please note that Governor Wolf announced last week that Montgomery Count will likely move to the yellow phase of reopening on June 5th, so unless the numbers dramatically change, this formula is no longer relevant.

The latest local data is as follows:

• Conshohocken is at 38 cases, which is the same as yesterday
  • There have been zero deaths overall in Conshohocken
• Whitemarsh is at 139 cases, which is two more than yesterday
