Beginning Thursday of this week, AppHealthCare will release a COVID-19 situation report for Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga Counties. This report will include data trend charts for numbers of completed tests, positive cases, active cases and also key messages that highlight the current state of COVID-19 in our communities. This report will be released each Thursday by end of day and will capture data from the week prior. WataugaOnline.com will publish that data when it is released. You can still find today's case data below.
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.
Positive Case Count
This number is sourced from AppHealthCare and is typically updated once in the afternoon each day. This is a cumulative case count since testing began.
Active Cases
The number of individuals currently in isolation who are residents of Alleghany, Ashe or Watauga. This number will be updated once in the afternoon each day.
Positive Cases Identified that Reside Outside Our District Counties
This number is for individuals tested locally but do not reside in Alleghany, Ashe or Watauga. This is a cumulative number since we began testing and will be updated once in the afternoon each day.
Individuals Actively Being Monitored
The number of individuals AppHealthCare staff are monitoring due to being exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case. These individuals are currently in quarantine, monitoring their symptoms. This number is updated each day Monday through Friday by 5 pm.
