Maricopa County saw cases rise by 787 on Monday, with no deaths reported, according to statistics from the Maricopa County Department of Health.
The numbers released Monday show a slowdown from several days where the county say multiple days reporting 1,000 cases or more for the first time since a summer outbreak. Mondays, however, often have the lowest case totals of the week.
Total cases for the county stood at 177,070 on Monday, and while total cases were below 1,000, county records show there were 3,298 cases combined for Saturday through Monday.
Monday’s report on the number of deaths was adjusted by one, so no new deaths were reported. For Saturday through Monday there were a reported 21 deaths total, according to county records.
Maricopa County is experiencing its largest case surge since early summer, with seven-day daily average of cases at 1,238 as of Nov. 12, roughly five times what it was on Oct. 1, at 236 cases. That average has been rising and likely will be adjusted as more cases come in.
The county’s seven-day daily average of deaths, which lags behind cases by two to three weeks, stood at 7 on Oct. 30, but county data indicate that rate will be rising over the next two weeks.
During the county’s summer spike, cases reached 3,809 cases in a day on June 29. The county is experiencing another surge, but case numbers in recent days, with last Friday’s high of 1,495 cases, just crossed a third of the worst day in the summer. The current surge shows no signs yet of slowing down.
