Definitions

  •  Resident:

    • An individual is counted as a resident if they live within the geographic boundaries of Thurston County. People whose permanent residence or address of record is located in Thurston County would be included.

  • Diagnosed with COVID-19 (Confirmed): 

    • An individual is counted as diagnosed with COVID-19, also called a confirmed case, if they had a laboratory (viral) test for COVID-19 and the test was positive for the illness.  

  • Deaths: 

    • An individual is counted as a COVID-19 death if they were diagnosed with COVID-19 and died due to health complications related to the illness.

  • Hospitalized: 

    • An individual is counted as hospitalized if they were hospitalized at any time starting from the day diagnosed with COVID-19 to the day they were released from public health isolation. Individuals who die due to COVID-19 are included in the count, if they were hospitalized while being monitored by Public Health.

  • Recovered/Recovering:

    • An individual diagnosed with COVID-19 is counted as recovered, if they are not hospitalized, and have been released from public health isolation. Individuals who recover from the symptoms of COVID-19 may have ongoing health problems or health problems in the future as a result of the illness. 

  • Public Health Isolation:

    • Isolation means an individual was ill and required to separate themselves from other people to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19 by order of the Thurston County Health Officer. Upon release from isolation, Public Health provides guidance on the current public health actions that should be followed for all residents (e.g. staying home, physical distancing when away from home, handwashing). Public health isolation can last 14 or more days and includes special requirements for health care workers/first responders. 

  • Outbreak:
    • An outbreak in a long-term care facility is defined as:
      • One resident or health care worker with confirmed COVID-19, OR
      • One resident with respiratory infection resulting in hospitalization or death, OR
      • Two or more residents or health care workers with new-onset respiratory symptoms consistent with COVID-19 within 72 hours of each other.
    • An outbreak in a non-health care facility is defined as:
      • Two or more confirmed or probable COVID-19 cases with at least one case classified as confirmed, AND
      • At least two of the cases have symptom onset dates within 14 days of each other, AND
      • Plausible epidemiological evidence of transmission in a shared location other than a household is observed. 



Testing for COVID-19

  • To be diagnosed with COVID-19, an individual must have a laboratory (viral) test for the illness.
