The state health department said 5,322 people in Arizona have died from COVID-19. There were no new deaths reported Monday.

There have been 1,578,693 coronavirus tests given across Arizona, with 5,536 tests reported yesterday.

Among the tests given statewide, 11% of them are showing positive for COVID-19, the state said. A week ago, 11.2% of statewide tests showed positive.

The 5,322 confirmed COVID-19 deaths in Arizona include:

The coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, for most people. For some people who contract the virus, especially those who are older or have underlying health conditions, it can cause more severe illness and death. The vast majority of people who are diagnosed with COVID-19 recover.

"We're tough as saguaros," editorial cartoonist David Fitzsimmons says. He says he saw a video made for the people of Detroit and became inspired to do his own take for Tucson.
