DOVER — Delaware has now surpassed 8,000 COVID-19 cases and 300 deaths. The Division of Public Health announced 168 new cases and seven additional deaths on Tuesday, bringing the respective totals to 8,037 and 304.

As of 6 p.m. Monday, 236 people were hospitalized. DPH said 3,760 Delawareans are considered recovered, meaning they’ve gone a week without symptoms.

Delaware’s first official coronavirus case was announced March 11. There were 7,200 cases and 237 deaths one week ago.

About 0.84 percent of Delawareans, or 84 people for every 10,000 residents, have tested positive for the virus (though only a fraction of Delawareans have been tested).

Sussex County continues to bear the brunt of the caseload: Although it has just 24 percent of the state’s population, it’s seen almost 49 percent of its COVID-19 cases.
