The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention labels Cumberland County as having "high" transmission of the virus — the highest level, which is the transmission level for every county in the state except Snyder County. Community transmission is determined by the number of new cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days and the positivity rate over the last seven days, so the classification could vary from day to day based on those numbers.
The southcentral region reported 634 cases Tuesday. York County reported 188 cases, Franklin County 90, and Dauphin County 76. All 13 counties in the region reported double-digit new cases Wednesday.
