The State Will Likely See A ‘Significant Increase’ in Coronavirus Cases Today Due To Processing Delays.
Health officials are warning that processing delays mean we will likely see a “significant increase” in the number of coronavirus cases announced today (Friday April 17th). Officials did not elaborate what caused the processing delays. A spokeswoman for the Division of Public Health wrote in an e-mail yesterday (Thursday April 16th) “Today’s positive case total may make it appear as though we are leveling out or seeing decrease in the daily case count. However, that is not an accurate reflection of the situation in Delaware.” The state reported 6 more death yesterday, bringing the death toll up to 52. There are 2,075 confirmed cases. 209 people are hospitalized and 60are critically ill. 378 people have recovered.
