The Northeast Health District added 64 confirmed COVID-19 cases on Sunday with the release of the Department of Public Health Daily Status Report, the smallest number of cases added since 50 were recorded on July 12.

Sunday usually is a light day of reporting, but 99 cases were added a week ago, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases dropped to 128.9 on Sunday from 133.9 on Saturday.

The Daily Status Report also listed no new deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the 10-county Northeast Health District on Sunday, and the seven-day rolling average of added deaths was 1.0, up from 0.9 on Saturday.
