COVID-19 Molecular Test: Also known as a PCR test. This diagnostic test identifies the presence of virus’s genetic material. These tests are very accurate and a positive result means someone has current or very recent infection. COVID-19 Antigen Test: This test identifies the presence of proteins on the surface of the virus. These diagnostic tests are somewhat less accurate (i.e., low sensitivity) than molecular tests but a positive result is suggestive of current infection. COVID-19 Antibody Test: Also known as a serology test. This test identifies antibodies; antibodies are the proteins produced by the immune system to fight off an infection. Because antibodies take days to weeks to make after infection, a positive result indicates infection at some point in the past. It is not a diagnostic test. Testing by Date: This refers to the date the sample (usually nasal swab or blood) was taken. Most reports and figures in this dashboard use this date. Total Tests: This represents the total number of tests done and includes people who have had multiple tests. Persons Tested: This represents the total number of persons who had at least one test done. If a person had more than one test, they are still counted only once. Case Definition: A standard set of criteria (including symptoms, laboratory tests and exposure) used to count persons who may have COVID-19. Case definitions tell public health professionals which people with disease to count; they don’t tell healthcare providers how to diagnose or treat COVID. Confirmed Case: A person is counted as a confirmed case of COVID-19 if they have a positive molecular test. Probable Case: A person is counted as a probable case in four ways: 1. if they have a positive antigen test AND have symptoms OR were exposed to someone with COVID; 2. if they have a positive antibody test AND have symptoms OR were exposed to someone with COVID; 3. if they have COVID symptoms AND were exposed to someone with COVID; 4. if they died and their death certificate lists COVID as a cause of death. More complete information about the COVID-19 case definition may be found here: https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.cste.org/resource/resmgr/ps/positionstatement2020/Interim-20-ID-02_COVID-19-19.pdf Suspected Hospitalized Cases: Patients without a laboratory confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis but who, as determined by the hospital, have signs and symptoms compatible with COVID-19 (most patients with confirmed COVID-19 have developed fever and/or symptoms of acute respiratory illness, such as cough, shortness of breath, or myalgia/fatigue). 4 1/1 reporting reporting by laboratories, fordates to be recent most areincomplete. counts likely Note: all data according to lag was page;to date aretop in Due tested. reportof as shown date the at the previously Data current received; presented ofon the dataindividual according 8:00am now to date the Disease and Health.
