Notes: data are current as of 3:00pm on 12/9/2020. For purposes of this reporting, “confirmed” are cases with a PCR test. Hospitalization data includes alternate care sites beginning on December 6, 2020. Data
prior to July 22, 2020 include both confirmed and suspected COVID hospitalizations, as confirmed COVID hospitalizations were not reported separately during this time.

12/10/2020 Glossary
Glossary of Terms
Please Note: the following terms and definitions apply to COVID-19 only.
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 three ways:
1. if they have a positive antigen test;
2. if they have COVID symptoms AND were exposed to someone with COVID;
3. 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.pdf
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 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.
Estimated active cases: Patients with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the last 21 days.
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.
