*EDITOR’S NOTE: The total number of COVID-19 cases in Clarion County decreased from 29 on 5/26/20 to 25 on 5/27/20. Explore sent an inquiry to the Dept. of Health regarding this discrepancy, but did not immediately receive a reply. The Pa. Dept. of Health previously offered the following explanation in response to Explore’s inquiry on discrepancies: “Cases are identified by county of residence. Sometimes, we see cases come back as the address of the physician who ordered the test, or the office. As part of our investigation, we determine the county of residence of the individual who tested positive, and if necessary will update our county case data based on that new information.”
