SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota health officials reported 95 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Sunday but no new deaths tied to the coronavirus.
Health officials said 3,260 of the state’s 4,563 coronavirus cases have been reported in Minnehaha County, which is South Dakota’s most populous county and the location of a large outbreak at a pork processing plant.
Health officials said the number of deaths tied to the coronavirus remained at 50 Sunday.
The number of hospitalized patients was 85 on Sunday, down five from the previous day. A total of 364 cases have required hospitalization.
Officials said 3,371 people have recovered from the coronavirus in South Dakota.
Health officials have warned the actual number of infections is higher because many people may not display symptoms or have not sought testing for mild symptoms.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.
