Covid-19: Update on Testing and Tracing and Rising Incidence in the State

Dr. John Cuddihy:

In September, to date, there have been 27 deaths. All of these would have had a date of death during September, between the 2nd and 24th. Twenty of those notified deaths were in the east of the country and 20 of them also had underlying conditions. In response to the Deputy's question, the five deaths reported by NPHET would have occurred in September.
