PHOENIX Arizona’s death toll from the coronavirus outbreak passed the 8,000 mark on Tuesday as the state reported an additional 153 known deaths, the second-highest daily increase during the pandemic.
The 5,869 additional known COVID-19 cases reported Tuesday by the Department of Health Services increased the pandemic’s total to 467,215 cases along with 8,125 deaths.
The number of infections is thought to be far higher than reported because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.
