Since the arrival of COVID-19 in early March 2020, there have been a total of 1,256 confirmed (PCR test) and 378 probable (antigen test) COVID-19 cases reported in Springfield Township. The chart above shows the trend in reported cases over time. Predominately due to the highly-contagious Delta variant, the number of new cases has increased throughout the state to levels not seen since April 2021. This increase in COVID-19 cases was followed by increases in hospitalizations and deaths; however, thanks to high levels of vaccination across the state, these increases were not as dramatic as earlier points in the pandemic.
