Confirmed cases have been verified by a molecular lab test. To be a probable case, a person must either 1) have specific symptoms AND have a direct exposure to a confirmed case, or 2) have specific symptoms AND a positive antigen or antibody test. If a probable case then gets a molecular COVID-19 test and tests positive, they are removed from the probable total and added to the confirmed total. If they test negative, they are subtracted from the probable total. Public health staff are notifying and quarantining close contacts of all confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases. If you have not been contacted by health department staff, you are not considered to have come in close contact with these individuals.

Anyone age 6 months and older can now get COVID-19 vaccine.
General COVID-19 Vaccine Information:
- COVID-19 vaccination may help protect you from getting the virus and will help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. It may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
- After receiving the vaccine, you may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection against the virus. These side effects may feel like flu and may even affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. Common side effects include: pain and swelling on the arm where you got the shot, fever, chills, tiredness, and headache.
- With most COVID-19 vaccines, you will need 2 shots in order for them to work the best. Get the second shot even if you have side effects after the first one, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get a second shot.
- It takes time for your body to build protection after any vaccination. COVID-19 vaccines that require 2 shots may not protect you well until two weeks after your second shot.
- Getting COVID-19 may offer some protection, known as infection-acquired immunity. (note this is not "natural immunity" as it is sometimes called). We don’t know how long this type of protection lasts. COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you by creating an antibody response without having to experience sickness.
- It’s important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic. No one tool alone is going to stop the pandemic. Continue to wear a mask in crowded indoor settings wash your hands often.
