New Mississippi coronavirus cases jump again Monday; Here’s where cases are located

Published 12:13 pm Monday, November 9, 2020

Mississippi’s 7-day, daily average of new COVID-19 coronavirus cases jumped again Monday to a nearly three-month record high and the highest number of cases reported on a Monday since early August.

The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 516 new cases on Monday, bringing the total cases since the pandemic began in March to 127,205. In the last two weeks, more than 11,400 Mississippians have tested positive for the virus.

Typically, low numbers of cases are reported on Monday as many labs do no report over the weekends, so 516 was an unusually high number. The last time the state reported a higher number of cases on a Monday was August 3.
