June 3, 2022 By WECT

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – New Hanover County has released its latest COVID-19 statistics. Between March 25 and June 3, the positivity rate for PCR testing for 14 days increased from 4.3% to 20.6%, and average daily confirmed cases have risen from 9.7 to 61.5.

However, hospitalizations remain relatively low. Novant Health NHRMC reports that, on average, 12 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized daily during the week before May 23.

About 64% of New Hanover County residents have been vaccinated with two doses or one dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, and 39% have been vaccinated with a booster or another additional dose.

The Pandemic Operations Team says they have their eye on the Monkeypox virus, but North Carolina has no verified cases so far.
