* Presumptive cases are a close contact of a confirmed case AND have experienced specific symptoms consistent with COVID-19 BUT have not tested positive with a laboratory-confirmed test. This could mean they have not been tested, or they have tested negative. Due to the fact that a negative test does not rule out COVID-19, the Oregon Health Authority and the Coos County Public Health Division treats these persons as if they have been infected.

**Please note: Active cases is now reported as cases in the last 14 days.

*** We have always reported this number, but feel it is important to mention that this number does not include those who have also tested positive (confirmed cases with multiple results) or those who meet presumptive case status.

Coos Health & Wellness is committed to serving our community during the Coronavirus pandemic. Please take a short survey to let us know how we are doing. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RFHF658
