County health department numbers showed 57 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, but two deaths that had previously been attributed to the coronavirus were subtracted from the virus’ death toll in the county.

COVD-19 cases peaked in the county in late June and early July, according to data from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, reaching 3,825 cases in a day on June 29. The county’s number of cases is returning to the level it was at before the surge in cases. In the most recent day of complete data, Wednesday, Sept. 2, the county added 214 cases, the lowest final single-day total since May 25, just before the county’s surge.

The county’s surge in coronavirus-related deaths has lagged a couple weeks after the surge in cases, as is typical with COVID-19 reporting. The county’s worst single-day death total was 58 on July 15. Daily death totals are significantly smaller than the county’s peak but have not declined to the level they were at before the county’s surge. In the most recent day of complete data, Friday, Aug. 21, there were 13 coronavirus-related deaths in the county and a seven-day average of 16 deaths a day. That is the smallest daily death total since June 28 and the smallest seven-day average since June 22. Before the surge in early June, the daily death totals and averages were consistently fewer than 10.
