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 Clay
County in this report.
