Another 107 coronaviru­s cases were recordedin­AnneArunde­lCountySat­urday, according to state health data, bringing the county total to 16,404 cases and 286 deaths since the pandemic emerged inMarch.

No new deaths were recorded Saturday, according to the data from the Maryland Department ofHealth.

There are12 deaths in the county that are likely from COVID-19 but the deceased did not receive a test.

The numbers have fallen fromabove 200 in recent days, although county Health OfficerNil­esh Kalyanaram­an lastweek that day to day fluctuatio­ns are to be expected as the surge continues.

“At these kind of numbers you’re going to see a little wiggle,” he said. “I’m going to guess that, because we’ve seen particular­ly in the past week or two, we’ve seen some increased delay in getting results. And wouldn’t put too much stock in that as a decrease yet.”

Maryland added 1,590 new confirmed coronaviru­s cases and 33 more deaths, marking the first time in the past four days the number has fallen below 2,000 cases. Maryland’s total now stands at 194,448 cases and 4,447 virus-related deaths.

More than 27,000 people received a COVID-19 test statewide and 6.8% of tests returned positive for the novel coronaviru­s, above the 5% metric that factors into reopening decisions.

Current hospitaliz­ations in the state rose slightly with 11 more people requiring in-patient care. There are 1,446 people currently hospitaliz­ed with1,095 patients in acute care and 351 patients in intensive care beds across the state. Hospitaliz­ation rates continue to climbbehin­dthe recent surge in new coronaviru­s cases.

Health officials are bracing to see abump in coronaviru­s cases and later hospitaliz­ations as people gathered Thursday for the Thanksgivi­ng holiday.
