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 Jackson County in this
report.
