17/100 counties

This is a change of 1 case from the last update, of cases statewide. That number was 49. Case number discrepancies are starting to emerge as some of those suspected positive, but proven otherwise are dropped from the count. I am using the higher numbers until the counts are otherwise adjusted.

Reported range today is from 40 to 50 cases.
