Eleven patients in Pennsylvania state hospitals have died from the coronavirus, according to data provided by the state Department of Human Services.
The deaths were among some 99 residents at seven facilities overseen by the state human services agency who were diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus.
Though Pennsylvania officials originally provided facility specific data on pandemic victims, it shifted courses earlier this month and began issuing data only on a cumulative basis. It ceased any reporting on infected employees.
Before the agency stopped issuing site specific data, they did report that 22 patients at Norristown State Hospital had tested positive for the virus along with 67 hospital employees.
The seven facilties covered by the data are Clark Summit State Hospital, Danville State Hospital, Norristown State Hospital, Torrance State Hospital, Warren State Hospital, Wernersville State Hospital and the South Mountain Restoration Center.
The total census at the seven facilities is 1,447, according to the report and currently there are 43 patients have tested positive.
