Updated COVID-19 Numbers for September 12, 2020
Today, MSDH is reporting an additional 445 cases of COVID-19 in Mississippi and 15 deaths. Mississippi’s total of COVID-19 cases for the year now stands at 89,620 cases with 2,685 deaths.
More older Mississippians in long-term care facilities are being put at risk and dying from COVID-19. We can control the spread, lower cases and reduce deaths dramatically if we limit time away from home, keep extra distance between yourself and others, and use a face covering to protect those around us. Remember, most people who are infected with COVID-19 don’t know it, and can spread it to many others before they feel ill.
Approximately 74,098 have recovered from the virus.
