Total number of staff fatalities with a probable COVID-19 case diagnosis at a facility. Probable cases are reported by states, where a person had symptoms of COVID-19 but no positive laboratory COVID-19 test. Reporting differs by state about which symptoms constitute a probable case. See individual state annotations for definition of a probable. For information on how far back this data goes for each state, see the “Data is cumulative since” annotation on the Long-Term-Care COVID Tracker Annotation table.
