After hitting a low of 45 new cases per day in mid-June, confirmed Covid-19 numbers have moved slowly upward in Suffolk County.
There have been about 60 new coronavirus cases reported each day in July, with a high of 102 cases on July 13. Case counts reflect the date on which they were provided to New York State by reporting laboratories.
While concerning to health officials, the increase has been less steep than in March and April, when the number of diagnoses leapt by hundreds nearly every day. Suffolk County provides updates every afternoon, including the number of hospitalizations, intensive care patients, and deaths.
The data is released each afternoon by state officials, based on the reports from test-processing centers and hospitals.
