The state department of health says Pennsylvania has seen its largest one-day increase in cases of coronavirus: 52.

That brings the total to 185 people diagnosed.

One person has died, a 55-year-old man in Northampton County whose sister and mother in New Jersey also died of the virus.

Gov. Tom Wolf in a speech yesterday said the case “is just the first death of what will become many.”

The total number of cases include 11 in Cumberland County, two in Lancaster County, one in Lebanon County and two in York County. Lancaster and Lebanon counties are new to the list.

The state says everyone diagnosed in Pennsylvania are either in isolation at home or being treated at the hospital.

“Our notable increase in cases over the last few days and our first death in Pennsylvania indicate we need everyone to take COVID-19 seriously,” Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said.
