Arizona health officials on Sunday reported 1,392 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and five additional deaths. It's the highest reported single-day coronavirus case total in the state since Sept. 17. Arizona continues to see a slow yet steady increase in the average number of COVID-19 cases reported each day as a decline that lasted through August and September reverses.
State Department of Health Services officials say the latest numbers increase Arizona’s totals to 238,163 known infections and 5,874 known deaths. The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.
