NOTE: Cases include both lab-confirmed positive results and cases deemed probable based on federal criteria. Total test numbers are calculated by adding together positive and negative lab results. Total and positive test numbers prior to July 13 may include a small number of probable cases in addition to lab-confirmed results. Also note that county rankings of per capita cases and deaths use dense ranking. Ranks are incremented by only one regardless of how many counties share the same rank. For instance, if three counties are ranked as having the highest number of new cases per capita, the next highest ranking county or group of counties will be considered the "second highest".
