Arizona cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, now exceed 1,400, with 29 known deaths, according to new numbers posted by the Arizona Department of Health Services on Wednesday.

The total identified cases in Arizona is 1,413, according to the most recent state figures. All of Arizona's 15 counties have at least one recorded case.

That's an increase of 124 confirmed cases, or 10%, since Tuesday, when the state reported 1,289 identified cases and 24 deaths.

As of Wednesday morning, Maricopa County recorded 11 deaths related to COVID-19. Pima County had eight deaths and Coconino County four, according to their respective websites. Navajo County had one reported death, that of an individual in their 60s with underlying health conditions, according to the county.

On Wednesday evening, Coconino County reported a fifth death and Pima County reported that its number of deaths had risen from eight to 10.

It is not clear if those deaths were already reflected in state data or if they increase the state's total death count. It's also not clear in which counties at least two of the deaths in the state tally have happened.

Maricopa County’s Health Department provided more detailed information on its cases. The state’s database shows the county has 871 cases, while the county’s website says it has 873 confirmed. Of the 873, the county numbers show:

Confirmed cases increased by 82 from Tuesday to Wednesday.

The majority of the cases, 469, or 54%, are male.

19 people under age 19 have tested positive.

People aged 20 to 44 make up 39% of positive cases, followed by people 45-64 years old at 36% and people over age 65 at 23%.

18%, or 158 cases, are hospitalized.

7%, or 58 cases, were in the intensive care unit. The number includes any case that was in the ICU during their illness, the county says.

The likelihood of being hospitalized or in the ICU increases with age. Of those aged 20-44, 24 were hospitalized and seven were in the ICU. For people aged 45-64, 55 were hospitalized and 20 were in the ICU. Among those over age 65, there were 79 hospitalized and 31 in the ICU.

11 people have died in Maricopa County.

Cases rise in other counties

According to Wednesday's state update, Pima County had 217 identified cases. Navajo County had 102 cases, and Coconino had 85, although that county said it had risen to 106 cases Wednesday evening.

Pinal County had 65, Yavapai County had 24, Apache County had 17, Yuma County had 12, Mohave County had seven, Cochise County had four, Santa Cruz County had three and Graham County and La Paz County each had two.

Greenlee County and Gila County had each recorded one case. Greenlee, in southeastern Arizona, was the last county to record a case. It has had 36 tests completed, the state's dashboard shows.

All counties but Mohave, Cochise, Graham, La Paz, Greenlee and Gila saw an increase in their cases from Tuesday.

Cochise County, with four cases, is now believed to have community spread, the county’s Health Department said in a press release on Monday. The county determined it had community spread after an adult female contracted the virus without any recent travel.

The Arizona Republic contacted all 15 counties for numbers on hospitalizations, which is only available online for Maricopa County. Not all counties have responded yet, but here is what the hospitalization numbers showed as of Tuesday for other counties:

Pinal County: Seven known hospitalizations.

Yavapai County: three.

Mohave County: one.

Cochise County: one.

Santa Cruz, La Paz and Greenlee counties: No known hospitalizations.

The number of cases is likely much higher than official numbers suggest. People have reported trouble getting tested, as health professionals confront confusion over who to test and face a lack of testing supplies.

Testing gradually increasing

The state Health Department website now says both state and private laboratories have completed a total of 21,058 tests for COVID-19.

As of Tuesday morning, the number was 19,371.

The state issued new guidance for testing on March 25 to primary care providers saying they should "consider removing this diagnostic 'tool' from their toolbox and managing patients with respiratory conditions as if they have COVID-19."

At a March 25 press conference, state Health Director Dr. Cara Christ said that if infections continue at their current pace, illnesses would peak in April and hospitalizations would peak in May.

"Arizona is still in the opening stages of its COVID-19 outbreak, and the number of cases within the state will increase significantly," Christ said.

The state Health Department announced in a press release on Sunday that its COVID-19 dashboard had been enhanced. The state previously provided only a limited scope of the cases. The new dashboard provides a more comprehensive view of the state's number of cases, breaking it down by the number of cases per week, age and gender.

The distribution of cases appears to align with the number of tests done. For instance, the age group with the highest percentage of cases, those aged 20 to 44, also are the age group that has had the most tests.

Most COVID-19 tests come back negative, the state's dashboard shows, with only 6% of tests coming back positive.

Of the statewide identified cases, 51% are men and 49% are women.

Last week, the level of community spread escalated from moderate to “widespread,” as listed on the state Health Department’s website. Community spread means the patient who tested positive had no history of traveling to regions of the world affected by the new coronavirus, and also had no known contact with anyone infected.

On Monday, Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order further stressing the need for Arizonans to stay home to slow the coronavirus spread, except for necessary trips. A list of previously released businesses, services and government functions deemed "essential'' that can keep operating remained unchanged.

Cases and curfew at Navajo Nation

The Navajo Nation announced on Wednesday evening it had 214 identified cases, with seven confirmed deaths.

The 214 cases include portions of the reservation in the following counties in three states: 97 in Navajo County, 22 in Apache County and 49 in Coconino County in Arizona; 22 in San Juan County, 14 in McKinley County and three in Cibola County in New Mexico; and seven in San Juan County in Utah.

The Navajo Nation Department of Health issued a new public health emergency order that implements a curfew and extends the "stay at home" order. The Navajo Nation Board of Education also approved a resolution directing the closure of schools for the rest of the school year.

“The Navajo Police Department, under Police Chief Francisco, will be visible in communities throughout the Nation to make sure people are complying with the new curfew," Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said. "We need to protect our people."

The curfew runs from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. and went into effect Monday evening. No details on penalties related to violating curfew have been provided. The curfew excludes essential employees traveling to and from work but they must have documentation.

“We’re two weeks into this pandemic and we need many more test kits, we need testing labs in our communities so we can get results much quicker. The public needs to be mindful that these numbers are going to continue to increase if every family, every individual does not follow the advice of health care experts," Nez said in a statement Wednesday.
