How Public Health Reviews Data To Determine Trends
Why You May Start To See More Covid-Related Deaths In Maricopa County
In other parts of the United States, a rise in COVID-19 cases has often been followed a few weeks later by a rise in COVID-related deaths. This makes sense because most people who pass away from COVID-19 spend time in the hospital first. Our peak in cases seems to have happened in July, meaning higher numbers of reported deaths are likely to be seen in these coming weeks.

Can The Virus That Causes Covid-19 Spread Through Treated Drinking Water?
The virus that causes COVID-19 has not been detected in treated drinking water. Water treatment plants use filters and disinfectants to remove or kill germs, like the virus that causes COVID-19. The Environmental Protection Agency regulates water treatment plants to ensure that treated water is safe to drink.
Currently, there is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people by drinking treated water. COVID-19 is spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person. You can continue to use and drink water from your tap as usual.

Can Animals Carry The Virus That Causes Covid-19 On Their Skin Or Fur?
Although we know certain bacteria and fungi can be carried on fur and hair, there is no evidence that viruses, including the virus that causes COVID-19, can spread to people from the skin, fur, or hair of pets
However, because animals can sometimes carry other germs that can make people sick, it’s always a good idea to practice healthy habits around pets and other animals, including washing hands before and after interacting with them.
