PHOENIX — Arizona is reporting 3,388 new confirmed COVID-19 cases and 39 deaths.
The state dashboard posted the latest numbers Wednesday, but health officials say they are somewhat elevated because a system glitch a day earlier kept some cases from being reported.
Today’s #COVID19 dashboard update adds 3,388 cases and 39 deaths. Case counts are higher today due to a data-processing catch-up after a reporting problem over the weekend. The best way to look for trends is the Cases by Day curve on the dashboard. https://t.co/wArQmdY04H pic.twitter.com/hamgKrFTRN
