The North Dakota Department of Health dashboard is updated daily by 11 am and includes cases reported through the previous day. The investigations are ongoing and information on the website is likely to change as cases are investigated. The information contained in this dashboard is the most up to date and will be different than previous news releases. This dashboard supersedes information from previous news releases or social media postings.
Antigen tests (BinaxNOW, etc.) were added to the website beginning Dec. 9.
A couple of things to note:
- The NDDoH is following the guidance from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) – the independent professional body that determines case definitions for the country. CSTE guidance and the CDC indicate that someone who has a positive antigen test for COVID-19 should be considered a probable case. Probable cases receive the same level of case investigation and follow-up as cases confirmed using a PCR test.
- The calculation of percent positivity and processed tests take into account PCR tests only, but the rest of the graphs and maps, include PCR and antigen combined.
- Antigen tests are not taken into account in the percent positivity. Some testing facilities are not reporting all antigen testing. As a result, we do not know the total number of negatives and total tests completed to be able to calculate a positivity rate.
- The past positive antigen tests and deaths reported are reflected on the dashboard on the actual day they were resulted.
Serology Testing
Reported serology tests are completed in a laboratory and do not include point of care serology tests. Individuals who complete an antibody and a PCR test maybe be counted in totals for both.
