(KAIR)--The total number of confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Kansas grows to 2,211, representing 70 counties, while the death toll reaches 110.

On Tuesday, the state reported 2,025 confirmed cases and 107 deaths.

According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Wednesday, the increase is due to the agency not receiving lab reports from a private lab, which affected the number from Lyon County, along with several others.

The release says KDHE anticipates “seeing an increase in the next several days for areas in Western Kansas due to the new testing strategies implemented.” However, reporting delays are expected “due to the additional time it’s taking to enter the lab reports.”
