The Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) tested 64 individuals for COVID-19 on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 with conclusive results. Two tested positive through DPHSS and 62 tested negative for SARS-CoV-2. 

One new probable case of COVID-19 was reported to DPHSS. The case tested positive through serology testing at Diagnostic Laboratory Services (DLS) and was classified as a probable case. 

To date, there have been 169 cases confirmed through COVID-19 testing provided with 5 deaths and 139 released from isolation. New criteria for release of cases from isolation were implemented on May 22. For persons having symptoms, at least 10 days have passed since recovery defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) and any other symptoms attributed to COVID-19 infection AND at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared—or, with recurrent symptoms, at least 10 days have passed since recurrent symptoms appeared—AND at least 14 days have passed since the date of their first (or most recent) positive COVID-19 diagnostic test. For persons without symptoms, at least 14 days have passed since the date of their first (or most recent) positive COVID-19 diagnostic test assuming they have not subsequently developed symptoms since their positive test.

For inquiries on COVID-19, contact 311 through a local number, or call the Joint Information Center at (671) 478-0208/09/10.
