Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) 2020 Interim Case Definition:

A person is counted as a probable case if they meet one of three criteria: 1. if they have a positive antigen test; 2. if they have COVID symptoms AND were exposed to someone with

COVID-19 Molecular Test: The most common kind of molecular test is a PCR test. This diagnostic test identifies the presence of virus’s genetic material. These tests are very

MDPH survey of hospitals (hospital survey data are self-reported).
A confirmed death is a person who died of COVID-19. They had been tested and diagnosed with COVID-19 before they died or were tested after they died, and the result was
positive. Effective April 1, 2021, a confirmed death is person who: died within 60 days of their first positive molecular test (unless their cause of death was clearly not related to
COVID-19); or COVID-19 is listed on their death certificate following a positive molecular test regardless of time since diagnosis.
A probable death is a death that is suspect to be COVID-19 related but is not confirmed. Probable deaths have a clinical presentation consistent with a COVID-19 death, but were not
tested and therefore not diagnosed with COVID-19. The number of probable deaths can fluctuate from day to day; some individuals will have subsequent molecular tests that move
them into the confirmed death counts. Effective April 1, 2021, a probable death is a person who: died within 60 days of having their first positive antigen test (unless their cause of
death was clearly not related to COVID-19); or COVID-19 was listed on their death certificate but have no positive test for COVID-19. Persons who have COVID-19 listed on their
death certificate, have never tested positive and have a negative test within 7 days of death are not counted.
The "two week period" or "last two weeks" refers to the most recent two complete weeks. Weeks are defined as Sunday to Saturday.
