Pa. Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine says 5,529 patients are currently hospitalized with COVID-19. 1,149 of those people are in the ICU.
Hand washing, social distancing and hand-washing are more important than ever, Levine says.
COVID cases increases are as follows: 4,579 new cases on Sunday and 3,226 cases on Monday. Levine says these numbers are likely low due to web system maintenance over the weekend.
Levine says there has been a significant decrease in participation in case investigation and contact tracing efforts.
Levine says 135,044 vaccines have been administered in Pennsylvania to date.
Levine said early vaccination projections from the federal government may have been too optimistic, but says recent money allocated by Congress for vaccine distribution will help states with vaccination efforts.
