NOTE: Total testing numbers, in the “To Date” section below, are all screwed up. That’s because the county is no longer able to track exactly how many total tests have been conducted, due to ambiguities with commercial testing. The county Joint Information Center tells the Outpost it will have a statement about this sometime soon.
