* As of 4/4/22, HHS no longer requires entities conducting COVID testing to report negative or indeterminate antigen test results. This may impact the number and interpretation of total test results reported to the state and also impacts calculation of test percent positivity.

Reporting of total new daily cases (positive results) and cases per 100k will continue to include PCR and antigen tests.
