What's New
(Updated Tuesdays & Thursdays)

Due to the holiday weekend and lack of community testing availability, it is likely we will see the number of cases drop early this week. This is likely to be followed with higher case numbers due to an increased demand for testing after the holiday. Please continue to look at the weekly trends to best assess current case activity. With the increase in antigen testing it is important to look at the total confirmed plus probable case numbers to understand the current burden. Positive antigen results are considered a probable case.
