Confirmed Cases or Positive PCR tests (people)
Category: Long-term Care
Total number of unique people with a positive PCR or other approved nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), as reported by the state or territory. This is equivalent to a confirmed case as per the CSTE case definitions of August 5th, 2020 and April 5th, 2020. If we discover a jurisdiction is labeling cases as confirmed using other evidence (e.g. positive antigen tests), we will annotate that state or territory's data accordingly.
