niman Posted October 8, 2020 Report Posted October 8, 2020 As of October 07, 2020, at 8:30 PM, the total of laboratory-confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases reported among Connecticut residents is 59748, including 57332 laboratory-confirmed and 2416 probable cases. One hundred twenty-eight patients are currently hospitalized with laboratoryconfirmed COVID-19. There have been 4527 COVID-19-associated deaths. In Connecticut during the early months of this pandemic, it became clear that it would be necessary to track probable COVID-19 cases and deaths, in addition to laboratory-confirmed (RT-PCR) cases and deaths. This was needed to better measure the burden and impact of this disease in our communities and is now part of the national surveillance case definition for COVID-19. Probable cases of COVID-19 involve persons who have not had confirmatory laboratory testing (RT-PCR) performed for COVID-19, but whose symptoms indicate they are likely to have a COVID-19 infection. In Connecticut, most of the probable COVID-19 cases involve persons whose death certificates list COVID-19 disease or SARS-CoV-2 as a cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death. Prior to June 1, probable and confirmed cases were reported together.
