• In its effort to continue providing comprehensive public information regarding coronavirus cases in Chester County, the Chester County Health Department has added new data to its COVID-19 webpages, focused on long term care facilities and personal care homes. The new data can be accessed on Chester County’s COVID-19 web page here. Chester County Health Department Director Jeanne Casner said, “Given the congregate nature of long-term care facilities and personal care homes, and the fact that they serve older adults who often have underlying chronic medical conditions, they are at the highest risk of being affected by COVID-19. The data that 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.”
