Total Suspected Reported Statewide: 40

This is a jump of 13 cases from the last update, of cases statewide. That number was 27. Case number discrepancies are starting to emerge as some of those suspected positive, but proven otherwise are dropped from the count. I am using the higher numbers until the counts are otherwise adjusted. Reported range is from 32 to 40 cases today.

Please keep in mind that these numbers are most likely artificially lower than the actual number of people infected due to the lack of testing capacity in our state which is slowly improving.

Please self isolate if you are able. Let's do our best to flatten the curve*, thank you.

Good luck everyone.
