Active cases are identified as a group who are in the first 30 days after COVID-19 diagnosis such as patients still in isolation, patients out of isolation but may still be having symptoms or patients out of isolation and not currently having symptoms.

The health district of Cedar, Dixon, Thurston and Wayne counties saw a decrease from 22 to 16 of total possible tests reported.
