LATEST DEATHS
The Post-Gazette’s comprehensive report of recent deaths includes three types of obituaries. News Obituaries, prepared by our staff, are published at the discretion of our editors; call 412-263-1601 to suggest a news obituary. Classified obituaries are paid death notices prepared by funeral home directors; call 412-263-1371. Funeral home directors may also call 412-263-1601 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to note a death for which there is no classified obituary. Those names will be listed under other deaths.

on their own to the pub­lic, does not re­port how many deaths have oc­curred.

Con­cor­dia’s lat­est up­date, also on Wed­nes­day, says three em­ploy­ees and 53 res­i­dents at Lund were pos­i­tive, two em­ploy­ees and 29 res­i­dents at Oer­tel were pos­i­tive, and 12 em­ploy­ees and 11 res­i­dents at the nurs­ing home were pos­i­tive.

All of those fig­ures are lower than what state data show.

“The pos­i­tive in­di­vid­u­als are cur­rently in iso­la­tion,”

Con­cor­dia wrote on its web­site. “We are test­ing and ac­tively mon­i­tor­ing our res­i­dents for signs and symp­toms of COVID-19 and are work­ing with our lo­cal and state health de­part­ments.”

“We have in­ves­ti­gated their foot­prints at the fa­cil­ity to de­ter­mine who he/​she came in con­tact with, and have no­ti­fied our res­i­dents, fam­i­lies and em­ploy­ees,” it added.

CONCORDIA, FROM C-1
Virus metrics better as restrictions set to ease

res­i­dents, 3,219 hos­pi­tal­iza­tions and 977 deaths.

Al­le­gheny County also led the metro area with de­clines in the COVID-19 test pos­i­tiv­ity rate, av­er­age daily hos­pi­tal­iza­tions and the num­ber of cases for the week end­ing Dec. 30. Beaver and Fay­ette coun­ties fol­lowed the down­ward trend, with each met­ric show­ing de­clines from the pre­vi­ous week.

But of­fi­cials at WVU Med­i­cine’s Union­town Hos­pi­tal in Fay­ette County wor­ried about a post-hol­i­day surge in cases that was ex­pected to start the sec­ond week of Jan­u­ary.

Fay­ette County, which has been ham­mered by COVID-19 in re­cent months, showed signs of im­prove­ment with a test­ing pos­i­tiv­ity rate of 21.9% for the week end­ing Dec. 30 com­pared with 24.4% the pre­vi­ous week. The av­er­age daily

num­ber of hos­pi­tal­iza­tions dipped slightly dur­ing the week, to 65.3 from 65.9.

The World Health Or­ga­ni­za­tion and other agen­cies con­sider test­ing pos­i­tiv­ity rates over 10% to be ex­ces­sive.

Data from Arm­strong and But­ler coun­ties of­fered a less rosy pic­ture, with spikes in the test­ing pos­i­tiv­ity rates in­stead of the de­clines else­where in the metro area.

Arm­strong re­ported a 24.4% pos­i­tiv­ity rate, up from 21.8% the pre­vi­ous week. Aver­age daily hos­pi­tal­iza­tions were also up slightly while the seven-day case count fell to 236 for the week end­ing Dec. 30 com­pared with 309 cases the week be­fore.

The test­ing pos­i­tiv­ity rate rose to 16.5% in But­ler County from 14.9% for the week end­ing Dec. 30 com­pared with the pre­vi­ous seven days, while the av­er­age daily hos­pi­tal­iza­tion rate ticked up­ward to 61.1 from 52.6.
