2020, there have been 93,872 total confirmatory laboratory results received

Prevention, the dashboard now includes probable cases which are individuals
that have symptoms and either serologic (antibody) or epidemiologic (e.g., a
link to a confirmed case) evidence of disease, but no confirmatory test.

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 Boone, Mineral and Mingo counties in this report.
