UPDATE: After further review of the cases included in today’s
dashboard report, eight cases from Webster County were identified in which the specimen collection
date was greater than 14 days. These cases were removed and the dashboard has
been updated to reflect this change. Data collected greater than 14 days
indicates that the cases have since recovered from COVID-19 and are no longer
being monitored.

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.
