1The reported number of patients tested does not represent the same patients included in the reported number of patients tested positive due to a lag between the date the specimen is collected and the availability of test results. Positivity rates cannot be inferred by dividing patients tested positive by patients tested for this reason.

2Percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding to the hundredths.

3Includes Hispanic/Latino and Non-Hispanic/Latino.
