Arizona has seen a steady decline in the percentage ratio of positive COVID-19 cases since the state began its weekend “blitz testing.”

Monday morning, the Arizona Department of Health Services reported 12,502 tests were processed Sunday with 261 of those coming back positive. That new data lowered the state’s overall percentage of positive tests to 6.7% (11,380 positives from 150,241 tests).

ADHS also reported six COVID-19 deaths in the past 24 hours, pushing the overall state count to 542.

This past weekend also saw Arizona eclipse the 11,000 mark in total positive coronavirus tests. It also marked the fastest 1,000-case gain as Arizona moved from 10,000 cases to more than 11,000 in two days.

It took 64 days for Arizona to document its first 1,000 positive COVID-19 tests since the first confirmed case Jan. 26. Since then, it took 41 days to add more than 10,000 new positive results.

Demographic breakdown of Arizona cases

The Monday ADHS data shows the 65-and-older age group continues to be at highest risk from COVID-19, with 432 of the state’s 542 deaths coming from this age group. There have been 62 deaths reported among people 55-64 years of age.

Women contract the virus in higher numbers than men in Arizona (53%), but more men than women die from COVID-19 (54%).
