Rutherford County Coronavirus Case Count

October 21, 2020

The Tennessee Department of Health frequently updates its information on the number of COVID-19 cases in Tennessee and other information every day at 2pm here: www.tn.gov/health/cedep/ncov.html.

As the health department updates its site, we will update this article.

Last update: Oct 21

Total Positive Results for Rutherford County: 11,165
Previous Day’s Total Cases (Oct 20): 11,090

Totals for State of Tennessee

Confirmed Cases: 223,867
Probable Cases: 11,994
Total Cases: 235,861
Previous Day’s Total Cases (Oct 20): 233,569

Reporting Inactive/Recovered Cases

Starting Sept. 3, TDH case count reports will include figures for “Inactive/Recovered” cases and will no longer include data for “Recovered” cases. “Inactive/Recovered” cases will include people who are 14 days or more beyond their illness onset date (or, for asymptomatic cases, their specimen collection date). This will more closely align with what is now understood about the infectious period of COVID-19, as recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show most patients with COVID-19 are no longer infectious after 10 days. Previously, TDH considered a case recovered after a 21-day period.

Probable Cases

Beginning June 12, TDH began adding probable cases to the daily case counts, and a report of total polymerase chain reaction, or PCR tests completed.

The total number of COVID-19 cases includes both laboratory-confirmed cases and probable cases as defined in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveillance case definitions: wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/conditions/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/case-definition/2020/.

The full data report breaks these numbers down into confirmed and probable cases for the state and for each county, and will provide figures for confirmed and probable deaths. Demographic information will be reported for the combined total of both confirmed and probable cases.

TDH figures for tests completed will comprehensively include those who have been tested multiple times, to provide a more accurate picture of the amount of COVID-19 testing taking place in Tennessee. TDH is only reporting PCR test results.

Keep me updated daily on COVID count. Thanks.

A few questions:
1) can not locate cases by zip code map on TN Dept of Health website. Where is it located?
2) the current chart no longer indicates daily deaths. Where can I find this?
3) Great info would be on why Rutherford County has the 5th largest population of the state and is 3rd in the state for Covid cases. Where are most of the cases coming from? Family, community, workplace.

  Peggy,
  
  1) Here is some information on how to find the zip code information from the TN Dept of Health: https://rutherfordsource.com/covid-19-data-zip-code-now-available/.
  2) We are publishing information from the TN Dept of Health regarding COVID-19 deaths here: https://rutherfordsource.com/rutherford-county-coronavirus-case-count/ as well as here: https://rutherfordsource.com/total-coronavirus-case-count-in-tennessee/
  
  3) As we receive any additional data from the Department of Health regarding results from contact tracing, we will be sure to publish it.
  
  Thank you for your questions.

I do like to see the percentage of those being tested who test positive for Covid 19.
