Data are current as of 6pm the previous day. Last update: 09/06/2020 5:40 PM.

Total Positive Cases

6,396* 335.1 per 10,000 people

*The Division of Public Health identified a technical issue that caused approximately 150 positive cases to be omitted from the state’s cumulative positive case count. All of these cases were processed through the state’s contact tracing program, however, they were not captured in the state’s statistical reporting here. The technical issue was resolved, and as DPH works to add these cases to the state’s tallies, you may notice an increase in the cumulative number of positive cases displayed over the coming days.

Case counts and test data by date of report can vary significantly from day to day for a variety of reasons. In addition to changes due to actual changes in disease incidence, trends are strongly influenced by testing patterns (who gets tested and why), testing availability, lab analysis backlogs, lab reporting delays, new labs joining our electronic laboratory reporting system, mass screenings, etc.
