Secretary of Health Rachel Levine unveiled the latest figures regarding MIS-C in Pennsylvania Tuesday.

In a virtual news conference with Gov. Tom Wolf, Levine said there have been 17 reports of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, which has been linked to children who have recovered from COVID-19.

Of the 17 reports, nine have been confirmed as cases of the syndrome, two have been discounted as cases and six are still under investigation.

Levine did not give a detailed breakdown for the number of cases at each of the six children's hospitals in the state. She said the department is working with the hospitals to develop better reporting and treatment plans.

“There are developmental protocols being developed for those children,” Levine said.

Also during Tuesday's briefing, both Wolf and Levine were asked about future plans to move counties from yellow to green phases in the reopening of the state.

Levine said as the state's testing capabilities improve, the 50 per 100,000 metric has become “less useful” and officials will focus more on models and projections, which are available on the state Department of Health's website. Levine also explained what it would take for a county to move from yellow to green.

“Those counties need to have a continually decreasing rate of COVID-19 while they were yellow,” she said. “If they have a continued decreased rate of infection, then they'll be considered to go green.”

The following numbers on the coronavirus pandemic are compiled daily from the Pennsylvania Department of Health's website and regular releases from Butler Health System.
