The first 9 patients were tested by the CDC. ** COVID-19 is a reportable disease. Regardless of whether the testing is done by the State or commercially, positive results must be reported to state and federal officials. As commercial labs increase their capacities to test for COVID-19, reporting of such cases may be delayed as data is supplied, received and processed. Often, local public health partners may be advised prior to DHSS. https://health.mo.gov/living/healthcondiseases/communicable/novel-coronavirus/ Report
