The number of COVID-19 cases in Allegheny County continues to drop as vaccinations continue. According to Allegheny County Health Department Director Dr. Debra Bogen, the daily average case rate is about 130. Most recently, there were fewer than 100 cases a day, something that hasn’t happened since Oct. 12, 2020. At the same time, the percentage of vaccinated residents continues to increase. About 72% of the adult population has received at least one shot, with 52% of the population fully vaccinated. “I am hopeful we can keep the numbers heading in the right direction, especially as we approach May 31 and the lifting of all mitigation orders except for the mask mandate in the state of Pennsylvania,” Bogen said Wednesday.
