Regional Coronavirus Updates
- Allegheny County Department of Health
- Of the 1,828 cases in Allegheny County, 1,720 are confirmed and 108 are probable cases. Additionally, there are 324 past or present hospitalizations (+5). All deaths are of individuals ranging in age from 42-103, with 85 being the median age of those who have died.
- Allegheny County Voting
- Allegheny County is on track to see high voter turnout as mail-in and absentee ballot applications for the June 2 primary exceeded expectations. The county has processed more than 280,000 ballot applications, with a little fewer than 5,000 applications coming in just before the deadline Tuesday, said Elections Division Manager David Voye. If all applicants return their ballots, that would equate to voter turnout of about 36%. Allegheny County has 775,201 registered, eligible voters. Voye previously projected 22% turnout for the primary. The 2008 and 2016 primaries, which had deeper candidate fields with no incumbents, each drew about 40% voter turnout, Voye said.
