With 813 newly confirmed cases on Saturday

As of 4 PM local time, the number of confirmed cases in the country has reached 3,150, with 813 newly confirmed cases on Saturday.


I try to analyze and understand this and I fell into confusion with ’,with 813 newly confirmed cases on Saturday’.

Is it rewritten as ’,and 813 newly confirmed cases were on Saturday’?


Or the meaning of ’with’ here is like together?

Or is the first sentence unnatural?

What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you so much as usual.

Hi.

What it actually means is that the number has reached 3,150, which includes the 813 newly confirmed cases on Saturday.

So the new cases have already been added to the numbers shown.

I hope this helps.

It means including. Take a look at the entry for "having or including something" in the following link.
