COVID Cases at LHU Hit 40

LOCK HAVEN, PA – There has been an increase of seven in the number of positive test results for COVID-19 reported by Lock Haven University on Tuesday.

The new total of cases has jumped from eight last Friday to a new Tuesday total of 40. The school’s dashboard said 822 tests have been administered with 40 positive test results and 781 negative results. That equates to a positivity rate of 4.9 percent, just below the 5.0 percent positivity rate recognized as the benchmark for high risk of community spread.

The LHU total of 40 in the span of a week or so compares to the state-provided Clinton County case number of 136 over the span of some five months, with relatively minimal daily case increases in the county in recent months.
