Montgomery County officials announced today during a virtual press conference that there are 164 new cases of Coronavirus in the county, of which 128 are associated with long-term care facilities. The total number of cases in the county is now at 5,274.
Also announced were 12 deaths, which brings the countywide total number of deaths confirmed due to Coronavirus to 429. Probable deaths, those without a lab test, is 203. Of the confirmed deaths, 375 of the 429 or 88% are from long-term care facilities.

The 14-day average of positive tests is now 1,413 with a daily average of 101. The big dip over the weekend can be attributed to the county’s testing facility being closed and the Mother’s Day holiday. The big jump today was likely due to a long-term care facility or facilities conducting mass testing. As we noted in the first paragraph, 128 of 164 of the positive cases reported today came from long-term care facilities.
