Notice on Recoveries: The only clear definition available for recovered cases is those who have had two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. Locally, we have greatly expanded our testing capabilities but we do not yet have enough to test everyone repeatedly to get the end date of their infection. Some areas just use the very approximate metric that patients are recovered after 30 days if they are alive and not hospitalized. Of course, this is a very rough estimate at best. For this reason, both Washington State and Chelan-Douglas Health District choose not to report inaccurate recovery numbers. At the same time, with over 400 cases locally and 9 deaths, it is obvious that hundreds of people in our counties have recovered from COVID-19 infections and this is a very hopeful sign. Recovery is what happens for almost everyone who gets this disease. As testing capacity and knowledge of the course of infection improves, we may be able to start reporting meaningful numbers on recovered cases in the future.
