The following graphs provide an insight into the status of COVID-19 in Medina County and highlights the work and response of the Medina County Health Department to control the spread of COVID-19 in our community.  These graphs will be updated weekly on Friday.

Due to the high number of COVID-19 cases, the total number of contacts currently in quarantine and released from quarantine are no longer being tracked for our weekly updates.

Definitions:

*Confirmed Case: A COVID-19 case that meets confirmatory laboratory evidence (PCR positive test)

*Probable Case: A COVID-19 case that had exposure to a known confirmed case of COVID-19 and develops symptoms of COVID-19 and/or a positive antigen lab test

*Antibody Probable Case: Utilizing a FDA approved test that meet the clinical criteria (symptoms) or the epidemiology link (exposure to a positive case) to be classified as a case of COVID-19 by public health.

*Isolation:  Separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick until they meet the criteria for release

*Quarantine:  Separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick during the incubation period of the disease

 

*All data is considered preliminary and subject to change.*

**Probable case counts include antibody IgG and IgM positive cases.  The date that COVID-19 antibody positive cases are reported to us may not accurately reflect the actual onset and period of illness. Not all antibody positive results will meet the criteria to be a case.**
