Please note that delays may be experienced with
the reporting of information from the local health department to DHHR. As case
surveillance continues at the local health department level, it may reveal that
those tested in a certain county may not be a resident of that county, or even
the state as an individual in question may have crossed the state border to be
tested. Such is the case of Mercer and Wayne
counties in this report.
