As of Thursday at 6 p.m., the county had recorded a total of 118 cases since the state begin collecting the date on March 11. There have been just three deaths from the coronavirus here, and no reported outbreaks in any of the long term care facilities in the county.

Case Classifications

Mississippi investigates and reports both probable and confirmed cases and deaths according to the CSTE case definition.

	Confirmed	Probable	Total
Cases	18,959	132	19,091
Deaths	865	16	881

Confirmed cases and deaths are generally determined by positive PCR tests, which detect the presence of ongoing coronavirus infection.

Probable cases are those who test positive by other testing methods such as antibody or antigen, and have recent symptoms consistent with COVID-19, indicating a recent infection.

Probable deaths are those individuals with a designation of COVID-19 as a cause of death on the death certificate, but where no confirmatory testing was performed.
