The Arizona Department of Health Services is reporting over 150,000 cases of COVID-19 as of Wednesday morning.

In Arizona, there are 150,609 cases and 2,974 deaths of the novel coronavirus, up 1,926 and 56 from Tuesday morning, respectively. That computes to a 1.97% death rate of confirmed cases in the state. The new cases added on Wednesday is the lowest for the day in weeks. The AZDHS did not say if any labs missed reporting times.

The number of cases could be far higher because many people have not been tested, and some can be infected without feeling sick.

Arizona — the 14th most populous state in the U.S. — is one of 11 states with over 100,000 cases.

Maricopa County shows a case rate of 2,242 cases per 100,000 residents, using 2019 estimates. The state rate is 2,069. Santa Cruz County has the highest at 5,164 cases per 100,000 residents.

The coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms such as fever and cough for most people.

But for some — especially older adults and people with existing health problems — it can cause more severe illness including pneumonia, and death.
