The VDH defines probable COVID-19 cases as people who are symptomatic with a known exposure to COVID-19, but whose cases have not been confirmed with a positive test.

On Monday, the Thomas Jefferson Health District reported 38 new cases of COVID-19 in the region it covers. In total, the region now has 1,414 reported cases since March 17.

There have been 116 hospitalizations reported, along with 29 fatalities. The number of fatalities, both generally speaking and related to outbreaks, can lag in data published publicly.

In an interview with the Progress published Saturday, Ryan McKay, senior policy analyst for the TJHD said it could take a few weeks for a death to be confirmed and added to the statistics.
