COVID Cases – 1,273 (+38)
This number includes 1,229 confirmed cases and 44 probable cases. A case is probable when the person displays symptoms of COVID-19 and has had close contact with a confirmed positive case but has not had a positive test themselves. We are including probable cases to better assess the level of community spread.

To date, there have also been 86 deaths. This is a decrease in reported deaths since yesterday. Data had been incorrectly input into the reporting system and the error was found and corrected upon review. Of the 86 reported deaths, 76 are confirmed (had positive test) and 10 probable. A probable death is one where COVID-19 is listed on the deceased’s death certificate, but the person never had a positive test for the virus. All deaths are of individuals ranging in age from 42-103, with 85 being the median age of those who have died.
We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones, and our thoughts go out to all those who have been impacted by the virus.
