Regional Coronavirus Updates
- Allegheny County Department of Health
- Of the 1,965 cases in Allegheny County, 1,841 are confirmed and 124 are probable cases. Additionally, there are 347 past or present hospitalizations (+2). All deaths are of individuals ranging in age from 42-103, with 84 being the median age of those who have died.
- Allegheny County
- (One day) before Allegheny County moves into the green phase of reopening and in a week where protests and a primary election has put more people closer together than in a while, officials said physical distancing, masks and other measures are going to continue to be important. “As we move into the green phase, it’s certainly an opportunity for us to open up our economy, but it also brings with it a potential risk,” County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said Wednesday afternoon during a news conference. The green phase, which most of southwestern Pennsylvania will be in as of Friday after three weeks in the yellow phase of reopening, allows restaurants to open at half capacity and also allows for the first time since March the opening of nail salons, hair salons and gyms, under Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines. Fitzgerald said it will be good for these businesses to be able to return to opening.
Federal Coronavirus Updates
- Labor Department
- Even as more states reopen and some businesses slowly start to rehire, 1.9 million people filed new claims for state unemployment benefits last week, the Labor Department reported today Thursday June 4. The tally continues to decline from the more than six million who submitted applications in a single week in March. Still, it underlines the persistent strain that the pandemic has had on the economy and the long climb back that lies ahead. In addition, 623,000 new claims were filed for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, the federal program intended to help freelancers, gig workers, the self-employed and others not normally eligible for state jobless benefits. For many jobless workers, stability remains a distant prospect. On Friday, the government will report the unemployment rate for May, which economists expect will have increased from 14.7 percent in April. Companies are still laying off employees, most likely moving from the restaurant workers and hotel employees who lost their jobs early in the pandemic to people in management positions, economists said.
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
- Seventy testing sites across the country had to close because of destruction from civil unrest, according to figures compiled by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The department began the Community-Based Testing Sites program in March. Most of the testing locations were chosen because they are in what public health officials call “socially vulnerable” neighborhoods. “Our urban areas are being disparately hit by the virus, and then they are getting disparately hit by the violence,” said Michael R. Caputo, HHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs. “And the result is a community that is truly in need for testing capacity losing that capacity.” HHS officials place the damage to testing sites — all private stores participating in the government program — in a more healing context. “Testing capacity is a necessary component to the recovery of the nation,” Caputo said. Deputy Surgeon General Erica G. Schwartz, in charge of a Community-Based Testing Site task force, added, “I think even one being closed” is a problem.
National Coronavirus Updates
- According to CNN, as of 12:00pm on Thursday, June 4, 2020, there are 107,281 coronavirus-related deaths and 1,856,118 total positive cases in the United States.
