COVID-19 Update

Mississippi has added 183 COVID-19 cases and eight more deaths Sunday, April 5.

The Mississippi State Department of Health reports the total number of cases is at 1,638 with 43 deaths as of Saturday at 6 p.m. MSDH reports COVID-19 statistics every morning based on data from the previous day.

The number of cases in Warren County now stands at five.

Neighboring Hinds County continues to report the most cases in the state with 154. Neither Warren or Hinds counties have reported any deaths from the virus to date.

Long-term care facilities under investigation for outbreaks in Mississippi now number 35.

“Long-term care facilities like nursing homes are considered high risk locations because their residents are older or in poor health,” MSDH states on its website. “Even one case of COVID-19 in these facilities among residents or employees is considered an outbreak. We investigate residents, staff and close contacts of infected individuals for possible exposure.”
