Monroe County COVID-19 daily rate: 224 more cases reported on Wednesday

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Monroe County saw 224 additional cases of COVID-19 in the daily numbers released by the Department of Public Health on Wednesday.

That was higher than Tuesday’s data, which showed 187 cases, but not as high as the 300-plus daily cases that have occasionally been reported in recent days.

The seven-day rolling average of new cases is at 249 cases per day, down slightly from Tuesday. 

There were no new deaths reported on Wednesday.

Portions of Monroe County remain in the state-designated "yellow zone," which puts some additional requirements on that area in an effort to reduce the coronavirus infection rate.

The state says that the COVID-19 positivity rate within the yellow zone in Monroe County on Tuesday was 3.87%,  up slightly from Monday. The Finger Lakes region had an infection rate of 3.9% on Tuesday, up slightly from Monday.

Here are the age demographics of the latest COVID-19 cases:
