More about cases and deaths
The increase of cases by 1,105 brought the 21-day rolling average up to 996. The number of cases tends to decrease over the weekends and increase during the weekdays.
The increase of 37 deaths brought the 21-day average up to 23.
Tuesday’s new cases and deaths didn’t necessarily all happen in the past 24 hours. There can be a lag of when they occur and when they are reported by local entities.
The cases and deaths of coronavirus are both those confirmed through testing and those the state and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention consider “probable,” which means they are diagnosed by a physician, among other criteria.
Testing
The number of coronavirus tests that have been performed in the state increased by 35,080 since Monday’s report. Just over 3.1 million test have been performed.
Some people are tested more than once and each test is counted individually. However, if a person is positive with coronavirus with multiple tests, they count as one case.
