11/30/2020 Glossary
Glossary of Terms
Please Note: the following terms and definitions apply to COVID-19 only.
Case Definition: A standard set of criteria (including symptoms, laboratory tests and exposure) used to count persons who may have COVID-19. Case definitions tell public health professionals which people
with disease to count; they don’t tell healthcare providers how to diagnose or treat COVID.
Confirmed Case: A person is counted as a confirmed case of COVID-19 if they have a positive molecular test.
Probable Case: A person is counted as a probable case in three ways:
1. if they have a positive antigen test;
2. if they have COVID symptoms AND were exposed to someone with COVID;
3. if they died and their death certificate lists COVID as a cause of death.
More complete information about the COVID-19 case definition may be found here: https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.cste.org/resource/resmgr/ps/positionstatement2020/Interim-20-ID-02_COVID-19.pdf
COVID-19 Antigen Test: This test identifies the presence of proteins on the surface of the virus. These diagnostic tests are somewhat less accurate (i.e., low sensitivity) than molecular tests but a positive result
is suggestive of current infection.
COVID-19 Molecular Test: Also known as a PCR test. This diagnostic test identifies the presence of virus’s genetic material. These tests are very accurate and a positive result means someone has current or
very recent infection.
Estimated active cases: Patients with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the last 21 days.
Testing by Date: This refers to the date the sample (usually nasal swab or blood) was taken. Most reports and figures in this dashboard use this date.
Total Tests: This represents the total number of tests done and includes people who have had multiple tests.
