MADERA — Madera County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) officials reported 40 additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, boosting the total number of cases countywide to 1003. As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, MCDPH was reporting 461 active cases — and 563 recoveries.
A recently added note on MCDPH’s website states that due to “state standardization” under the new Cal CONNECT system, Madera County’s daily reports now reflect the prior day’s statistics.
According to MCDPH, thirteen people with coronavirus are currently hospitalized while Madera County has registered nine COVID-19-related deaths since the pandemic began in March, including another death in the last week.

Madera County was added to the state’s watch list last week, joining Fresno, Tulare, Kings and Merced counties and two dozen other more populous counties around California.
Nationally, there have now been 3.48 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, with the U.S. death toll from the virus passing 138,000 on Tuesday.
