The Monroe County Department of Public Health said Tuesday afternoon that it had received no new reports of COVID-19 deaths in the last 24 hours. It's the second time in a week that the county went a day without a new death from the disease.
Still, the data offers only a snapshot. A previous 24-hour span with no new deaths from COVID-19 was followed two days later by the largest jump in fatalities since the first documented case of the disease in the county.
The number of people in hospitals for COVID-19 treatment held steady over the last 24 hours, the health department said Tuesday, as did the number of those patients on ventilators.
Testing confirmed nearly two dozen new cases of the novel coronavirus in the county, the health department said. Those patients ranged in age from three children under 10 to four people in their 80s.
