More than 8,000 total cases of COVID-19 have been linked to Scottsdale city limits, state numbers show.
There have been 579 new positive cases of COVID-19 recorded in Scottsdale in the past seven days, numbers show.
Numbers provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services on Nov. 16 show 8,010 total cases of COVID-19 mapped to Scottsdale’s nine ZIP codes.
City-wide, compared with numbers last week — 7,431 — there have been 579 new cases since last Monday.
ZIP codes 85257 and 85251 both saw increases of more than 100 cases last week.
More than 90% of cases were mapped to the address of the patient’s residence. If the patient’s address was unknown the case was mapped to the address of the provider followed by the address of the reporting facility, according to the ADHS.
