Summit County\u2019s COVID-19 case data<\/a><\/i> was updated Wednesday to show an additional 67 people tested for the novel coronavirus since Tuesday along with three new cases and one new hospitalization. Coronavirus-related deaths in the county remain at two. In total, there have been 615 people tested. There are currently 69 pending tests.<\/p>\n

The number of people tested has nearly doubled since last week when there was a total of 265 people tested as of April 21<\/a>, which was the first day Vail Health began testing in Summit County<\/a>. With Vail Health setting up clinics around the county and Centura Health now offering daily testing to anyone who is symptomatic, testing has greatly expanded.<\/p>\n

There continues to be more positive cases among men than women, with men making up 64% of Summit County\u2019s positive cases. The Hispanic community also is hit harder by the virus with 55% of total cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
