Total Tests Performed* | Positive Test Results^ | Deaths |
---|---|---|
2849 | 30 | 0 |
We will update these data weekly on Thursday, but any positive test results will be reported the day the result was received.
Last update of total tests on 8/6. Next update of total tests performed will be on 8/13.
NOTES:
This data come from the most reliable sources we have at the time of reporting. This data only tracks cases that have required active case investigation in San Juan County (sometimes cases occur with individuals with San Juan addresses, but who have not been in islands for some time). These numbers may differ from Washington State’s reported numbers or data from other organizations tracking this situation. Differences can occur if, for example, a patient is flown to the mainland and reports of their status are not returned to their county of residence in a timely way or if other offices are slow to attribute data properly to San Juan County. Health providers and labs are sometimes slow or unwilling to report data to the San Juan County Health Department. Members of the general public may learn of the status of certain cases before we do and before we confirm them on this page. We will try our best to keep this page current and accurate. Please note that sometimes positive patients move locations from one county to another and this can complicate or cause inconsistencies in county reporting numbers. We assure you that our data will be accurate and reliable even if we are sometimes slower than other sources of island information. We intend to provide accurate information while also respecting the privacy of those who become ill with COVID-19.
