NATCHEZ — The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 410 new confirmed COVID-19 cases statewide and 16 new deaths on Sunday.

The statewide caseload was lower than Saturday’s report of 539 confirmed COVID-19 cases but the death rate was higher than Saturday’s 11 deaths statewide.

Adams County’s numbers as of Sunday’s statewide report rose by three new confirmed cases over night to 823 confirmed COVID-19 cases and the death toll remains at 32.

Mississippi’s total COVID-19 cases since March 11 now stands at 86,888 with 2,584 deaths.

Adams County had 96 active COVID-19 cases as of Tuesday, according to the Adams County Emergency Management Office.

Last week, volunteer statistician Norma Williams told city leaders during Natchez Mayor Dan Gibson’s weekly “COVID Currents” meeting that Mississippi had the third highest per capita COVID-19 infection rate behind Louisiana and Florida.

Local officials stressed the importance of maintaining social distance, avoiding crowds, handwashing and mask wearing throughout the Labor Day weekend to help curtail the spread of COVID-19
