Case Classifications
Mississippi investigates and reports both probable and confirmed cases and deaths according to the CSTE case definition.
| Confirmed | Probable | Total | |
| Cases | 16,447 | 113 | 16,560 |
| Deaths | 778 | 16 | 794 |
Confirmed cases and deaths are generally determined by positive PCR tests, which detect the presence of ongoing coronavirus infection.
Probable cases are those who test positive by other testing methods such as antibody or antigen, and have recent symptoms consistent with COVID-19, indicating a recent infection.
Probable deaths are those individuals with a designation of COVID-19 as a cause of death on the death certificate, but where no confirmatory testing was performed.
Long-Term Care Facility Cases and Outbreaks
Long-term care (LTC) facilities like nursing homes are considered high risk locations because their residents are older or in poor health. Even one case of COVID-19 in these facilities among residents or employees is considered an outbreak. We investigate residents, staff and close contacts of infected individuals for possible exposure.
Long-term care facilities include nursing homes, personal care homes, assisted living homes, and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disability (ICF-IID).

- View interactive epidemiological trend and syndromic surveillance
- View interactive hospitalization chart
The charts below are based on available data at the time of publication. Charts do not include cases where insufficient details of the case are known.
Note: In our charts by race, “Other” includes American Indian and Asian.
Note: Values up to two weeks in the past on the Date of Illness Onset chart above can change as we update it with new information from disease investigation.
Weekly High Case and High Incidence Counties
These weekly tables count cases based on the date of testing, not the date the test result was reported, and count only those cases where the date of testing is known.
They rank counties by weekly cases, and by incidence (cases proportional to population). A separate table ranking all counties is also available. All tables updated weekly.
Syndromic Surveillance
Emergency department visits by those with symptoms characteristic of COVID-19, influenza and pneumonia, updated weekly.
Estimated Recoveries
Presumed COVID-19 cases recovered, estimated weekly (does not include cases still under investigation).
