DILLON \u2014 Four cases of the novel coronavirus have been added to the Summit County total. The county\u2019s webpage reporting COVID-19 data<\/a><\/i> was updated with the additional four cases at 11 a.m. Sunday, bringing the total case count in Summit County to 54. <\/p>\n

Health officials in Summit County have now tested 159 people. Fifty-four tests have come back positive, 85 have been negative and there are currently 36 pending tests. The county has reported that the total number of tests will not add up to 159 because some residents are being tested outside the county. Thirty-one hospitalizations were reported in the county\u2019s update, up one since Saturday\u2019s report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The county is also reporting case demographics by breaking the positive cases down by age and gender. So far, patients ages 50-59 make up 19% of positive cases while ages 20-29 and 30-39 each make up 17% of cases, according to the report<\/a><\/i>. <\/p>\n

The county has continuously stressed that the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 does not represent the actual spread of the virus in the community as testing is being prioritized for first responders, health care providers and those who are \u201cmoderately or severely ill.\u201d<\/p>\n
