The health department reported 167,452 newly confirmed cases, an increase of only 43 from Saturday.

That comes after the state reported well over 1,000 new cases on five days between Oct. 16 to Oct. 22.

On Saturday, the state reported an increase of 2,918 new cases of COVID-19 but health officials said those numbers reflected a high number of test and case records received on Thursday and Friday.
