FOX 29's Dawn Timmeney reports. CHESTER COUNTY, Pa. - With the increasing cases of COVID-19 in the state of Pennsylvania, Chester County has added some new data to get a better representation of the effects the pandemic has on its older residents.
The Chester County Health Department has added new information, specifically focused on long-term facilities and personal care homes to their website. “The data we are publishing helps to give context to our overall case numbers and is a snapshot of the challenges that our long-term care facilities and personal care homes are facing.
Our definition of ‘outbreak’ begins with just one case in a congregate care setting, so the data we are reporting reflects that” said Chester County Health
