The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus is now being released by ZIP code in Pennsylvania.

The state Department of Health map includes information for all 67 counties.

The ZIP codes in Westmoreland County with the highest numbers of confirmed cases are Latrobe (15650) with 68, Greensburg (15601) with 38 and New Kensington (15068, including part of Allegheny) with 35, according to state figures. The county has 291 confirmed cases.

ZIP codes often include multiple municipalities or parts of several communities, such as 15068 — which includes New Kensington, Arnold, Lower Burrell, Upper Burrell and parts of Allegheny Township, Murrysville and Plum. The number of cases listed includes the entire ZIP code.

Allegheny County has reported positive covid-19 cases down to the municipal level using an online map since late March.

Westmoreland County commissioners said they are satisfied with the disclosure after weeks of frustration. Officials have for the last month lobbied the state Health Department, which is tracking the pandemic, to make public more specific information about where positive cases are located in the county.

“Finally, it’s what people want to know,” Commissioner Sean Kertes said. “I feel it finally gives some information to the public and shows where our hot spots are in the county.”

“I’ve had a number of people calling my office asking where the positive cases are located,” Commissioner Doug Chew said. “I think this gives the public what they wanted, and it is their right to know.”

Twenty-five deaths related to the virus have been reported to the Westmoreland County coroner.
