One new covid-19 case was reported Saturday in Westmoreland County, bringing the county’s total coronavirus case count to 437, state health data show.

The county’s death toll remains at 38.

Most of those who have died from covid-19 have been in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities. The oldest to die was 109, and the youngest was 61, with an average age of 83, according to Westmoreland County Coroner Ken Bacha.
