Probable case removed due to error in calculation Posted on June 24, 2020 0 As of Tuesday a total of 55 coronavirus cases were reported in the county, including 43 lab confirmed cases, six probable cases and six additional probable cases based on positive antibody tests for Wyandot County. One probable case was removed due to an error in reporting. No patients currently are hospitalized. Of the reported individuals, there have been five hospitalizations, four deaths and 50 recoveries. According to an epidemiological update released Monday, patients have ranged from ages of less than 1 to 94 years old. Illness onset dates range from March 12 to June 3. Six cases have come from long-term care facilities. Currently there is one Wyandot County resident who is actively ill and two of the county’s total cases have been asymptomatic, according to the update. Of the 55 cumulative cases, 58% have been the result of an outbreak, 20% have come from contact with a known case and 22% have been community acquired. Antibody testing currently is available to the public. As Wyandot County Public Health receives the results of these tests, they will be reported using specific criteria. If the patient received a positive antibody test and had been in close contact with a lab-confirmed case, linked to a community outbreak or exhibited symptoms of COVID-19, the case will be labeled as probable. A positive antibody test result meeting none of these conditions will be considered a suspected case.
