Note: On April 16, 2020, CDC updated the map legend to more accurately reflect current case counts.
{*} As of April 14, 2020, CDC case counts and death counts include both confirmed and probable cases and deaths.
This change was made to reflect an interim COVID-19 position statement issued by the Council for State and Territorial
Epidemiologists on April 5, 2020. The position statement included a case definition and made COVID-19 a nationally notifiable
disease.
A confirmed case or death is defined by meeting confirmatory laboratory evidence for COVID-19. A probable case or death is defined by i) meeting clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19; or ii) meeting presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence; or iii) meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID19.
State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.
{†} Self-reported by health department characterizing the level of community transmission in their jurisdiction as:
“Yes, widespread” (defined as: widespread community transmission across several geographical areas)
“Yes, defined area(s)” (defined as: distinct clusters of cases in a, or a few, defined geographical area(s)
“Undetermined” (defined as: 1 or more cases but not classified as“Yes” to community transmission); or
“N/A” (defined as: no cases).
