Allegheny County led the state in new COVID-19 cases Sunday, will close businesses for on-site alcohol use June 30

Allegheny County reported 96 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, its largest single-day increase since the county started reporting the coronavirus case count in March.

Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and Health Department Director Dr. Debra Bogen held a briefing Sunday afternoon about the record-setting weekend of COVID-19 cases and new mitigation measures.

“For the first time since COVID-19 cases were confirmed in the state, Allegheny County led the state in the number of new COVID-19 cases,” Fitzgerald said.

Bogen said the health department is finalizing an order to restrict on-site alcohol consumption at any business.

Here is a map of testing locations in Allegheny County.
