Information provided by AppHealthCare

You may notice a difference between our case count and the NC DHHS state database. Sometimes we get notification of positive results before they show up on the state dashboard. Also, individuals can sometimes get “assigned” to our counties that actually do not reside in our counties. When that happens, we work with the state to get that data reassigned to the person’s place of residence.

A note for 9/28/2021 data: Cumulative case count in Alleghany county has decreased due to identification of duplicate data and reassessing jurisdiction for some cases.

Cumulative case counts may decrease or fluctuate due to ongoing reconciliation of data sets and elimination of duplicate data.
