Individual Case Counting

Recognizing the threat posed by COVID-19, North Carolina acted in early February to add COVID-19 to the lists of conditions that physicians and laboratories are required to report to the state. This means that all positive tests results must be reported to the state. The number of laboratory-confirmed cases has been tracked since that time. 

Health providers determine to which lab they send their COVID-19 tests. There are multiple hospital and commercial labs that conduct tests. These labs manage their own supplies and operate independently from the Department of Health and Human Services and the North Carolina State Laboratory of Public Health. 

North Carolina will continue to track and post the number of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases. However, it is important to recognize that there are many people with COVID-19 who will not be included in daily counts of laboratory-confirmed cases, including:

1. People who had minimal or no symptoms and were not tested.
2. People who had symptoms but did not seek medical care.
3. People who sought medical care but were not tested.
4. People with COVID-19 in whom the virus was not detected by testing.

Therefore, the number of laboratory-confirmed cases through testing will increasingly provide a limited picture of the spread of infections in the state as COVID-19 becomes more widespread and the number of people in the first three groups above increases.

Many counties have their own website, which will frequently have a map that breaks down the county into regions which will also have the confirmed cases in each region (which represent a small subset of actual cases).

Here is a link to Mecklenburg Co which gives levels by zip codes in that county
