Coronavirus in Southern Arizona: An Arizona 360 Special
AZPM
Arizona health officials on Sunday reported nearly 2,000 new confirmed COVID-19 cases and 30 more deaths as the state closes in on 800,000 cases and 15,000 deaths since the pandemic began.
The latest numbers released by the Arizona Department of Health Services increased the state’s pandemic totals to 797,270 cases and 14,978 known deaths.
Health officials say the coronavirus remains widespread across the state, but the surge that made Arizona the nation’s hot spot last month is receding.
Also, COVID-19 hospitalizations and daily case averages are now lower than they were at the July peak of the state’s first wave, but the death pace remains higher.
