The state also reported 6,481 probable cases and 244 probable deaths, for a total of 67,711 cases and 6,090 deaths.

The state said probable cases and deaths are determined by using a national standard, and that identifying those cases and deaths "provides a more complete picture about how COVID-19 has impacted the state." Probable cases or deaths are defined as:

Having clinical disease AND an epidemiologic link. Having a presumptive lab result AND either clinical disease OR an epidemiologic link. Having a death certificate that lists COVID-19 disease as a cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death without a positive COVID-19 confirmed lab result.
