Please note: Transylvania Public Health is still reporting a high percent of positive tests even though new cases are much lower. This is mostly due to low overall testing numbers and the fact that not all local testing providers report negative tests to us electronically.
(Demographic data for COVID-19 deaths will be updated weekly, as needed. Last updated 4/13/21 at 3:00 pm)
For more information about cases in North Carolina, visit the NC DHHS COVID-19 Case Count website. For more information about cases in the U.S., visit the CDC COVID-19 Case Count website.
