Butler Health System officials reported one COVID-19 death in its report Monday.

According to a BHS official, the person who died Monday was not a Butler County resident.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the county's death toll remains at 17.

The Department of Health records its COVID-19 deaths based on the permanent residence of the person who dies, not by the location or municipality within which that death occurs.

The report also showed a subtraction of one confirmed case from Butler County's total. The total as of Monday stands at 685, which represents the number of Butler County residents who have tested positive for the virus since the beginning of the pandemic.

Also Monday, Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine issued a news release updating the public on case investigations and contact tracing.

Contact tracing is initiated when a person's COVID-19 test returns positive. Within 24 hours, a contact tracer will call the infected person to trace to whom they may have passed the virus.

“We have a growing team of dedicated professionals equipped to do this work and truly make a difference, but we need our fellow Pennsylvanians to pick up the phone when they call,” Levine said of the contact tracers.

The following numbers on the coronavirus pandemic were compiled from regular news releases from the state Department of Health.
