Our daily update is published. States reported 1 million tests, 55k cases, and 975 deaths. 34k people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19. WI, ND, UT and WY reported record high case counts today. 
Missouri added current hospitalizations back to their dashboard, so we updated this metric in our data. Today’s hospitalization count—1,344—was MO’s highest ever.
Starting today, we are displaying a breakdown of confirmed and probable cases on our site for any state where the data is available. We are also releasing a new field, probableCases, in our API. In most states, this data goes back to April 29.
What counts as a “probable case”? Like with most metrics we track, it varies by state. For now, you can check out our data definitions to learn more—and keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming blog post about the many definitions used. covidtracking.com/about-data/dat…
This week’s data continues a four-week rise in cases. Hospitalizations grew not only across the Midwest, but in states in every region, with especially worrisome signs in WI. You can read more about the weekly trends in our update: covidtracking.com/blog/weekly-up…
