- Social distancing, hand hygiene, and other steps to prevent infection must be followed at all times in all municipalities regardless of the number of cases.
- The number of infected individuals in any municipality is likely to be much greater than indicated as this data ONLY includes persons who have been tested and whose lab results have been reported in the State’s data system.
- This data will not match any other report since cases are continually entering the system and local health departments may reassign place of residence as appropriate during their investigations.
The statewide COVID-19 count surpassed 100,000 cases as of Friday, climbing by 3,047 cases and 253 fatalities for a total of 102,196 cases and 5,617 fatalities.
