  • Onset Date Trend: This graph was removed. Universal case investigation is no longer conducted and onset date is not available in most laboratory results.
  • Estimated Recovered was removed. This cannot be calculated without onset date.
  • -Counts of Asymptomatic cases was removed. Universal case investigation is no longer conducted and symptom status is not available in most laboratory results.
  • Cases among Healthcare Workers was removed. Universal case investigation is no longer conducted and occupation is not available in most laboratory results.
  • Cases by Date of Onset and Public Health District was removed. Universal case investigation is no longer conducted and onset date is not available in most laboratory results.
  • Cases by Public Health District was added. This graph breaks out the daily cases trend by public health district of residence.
