An important note about today’s report:
On August 6, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists announced the release of an updated COVID-19 national case definition recently endorsed by CDC. Today’s
dashboard includes updated data which utilizes the new case definition.
The previous case definition defined probable cases as individuals: with a positive antigen or serology test AND symptoms or likely exposure; with COVID-19 listed as an
underlying or contributing cause of death on a death certificate; and with appropriate symptoms and likely exposure.
The criteria indicating likely exposure were very broad and included known contact with a case, contact with a likely case, travel to or residence in a location with COVID-19
transmission, or association with a specific outbreak.
The new case definition updates the clinical criteria associated with COVID-19; defines probable cases as individuals: with a positive antigen test, with COVID-19 listed as an
underlying or contributing cause of death on a death certificate, or with appropriate symptoms and likely exposure.
The criteria indicating likely exposure are now restricted to known contact with a case or association with a specific outbreak. Individuals with positive serology (antibody) tests
have been placed in a new suspect category which is not reportable to CDC.
In order to provide a single set of consistent data for tracking COVID-19 in Massachusetts, today’s data includes only probable cases identified through antigen testing or
death certificates. These criteria are the most objective and able to be applied over time. This definition has been used to update all of the data - including previously
reported data.
Many jurisdictions do not report probable cases at all. Those that do, tend to focus on antigen testing and death certificates. The change to our data improves comparability
with other jurisdictions reporting probable cases.
This does not change data on probable cases previously reported to CDC; however, the new case definition does apply to probable case reported to CDC from now on.
