there have been 78,611 laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 1,514 positive,

experienced with the reporting of cases and deaths from the local health

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 Wood County in this
report.

and can be found here.
The number of laboratory results received refers
to the number of tests performed and completed, not the number of residents
tested as some individuals have had multiple samples taken for COVID-19 tests.
