Six more patients died in the previous 24 hours, public health officials said Thursday at 5 p.m., raising the number of fatalities to 52.

A glitch in Delaware’s system for tabulating cases prevented officials from reporting all the new positive results, officials stressed while announcing 61 new cases. That brings the total to 2,075.

“Today’s positive case total may make it appear as though we are leveling out or seeing decreases in the daily case count, however that is not an accurate reflection of the situation in Delaware,’’ public health spokeswoman Jennifer Brestel said. “The system should be running normally tomorrow and we anticipate seeing a significant increase in the overall number of cases once again.”

Hospitalizations, however, seem to have leveled out. There are 209 people currently in Delaware hospitals, Brestel said, just one more than on Wednesday and six fewer than Tuesday.
