The Cayuga County Health Department reported four new confirmed cases of COVID-19 this weekend.
On Saturday, the department said two 20-year-old women, both living outside of Auburn, tested positive for COVID-19. The two new cases on Sunday include a man in his 30s and a woman in their 20s. They both live outside the city.
With four new cases in two days, the county’s total number of confirmed cases increases to 117. However, only seven of them are active cases. There were 108 people who were released from mandatory isolation, which was ordered after a positive test, and recovered from COVID-19.
The health department reported two deaths from COVID-19 since the outbreak began in New York.
Most Cayuga County cases are outside of Auburn. So far, 89 residents of Cayuga County cities have tested positive for COVID-19. There have been 27 confirmed cases in the city. A person who tested positive for COVID-19 in Cayuga County is a resident of another state.
There are slightly more women than men, ages 61 to 56, who have been infected. Most of the cases, 66, are under the age of 40, with 28 cases in their 20s and 27 in their 30s.
According to the department’s latest update, a person remains hospitalized with COVID-19. After recent contact tracing investigations after positive test results, 29 people are in mandatory quarantine, which is required when someone has been exposed to the virus.
