DILLON \u2014 Summit County reported eight new positive cases of the novel coronavirus Wednesday, bringing the county\u2019s total number to 34.<\/p>\n

A total of 130 individuals have been tested. So far, 72 have tested negative, and results are still pending for 33 people, according to the county\u2019s most recent update on its COVID-19 webpage<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

The total number of individuals tested won\u2019t match the sum of positive, negative and pending tests because the county is including some untested but epidemiologically linked cases in the positive case count. Those are people who are exhibiting strong COVID-19 symptoms and had known close contact with someone who tested positive. Additionally, while pending cases will appear in the data of the county that tested an individual, that data will be transferred to the person\u2019s county of residence once the results are returned \u2014 meaning Summit\u2019s numbers will be impacted differently each day by residents being tested outside of the county and vice versa.<\/p>\n

It also means that moving forward, any new positive or negative results should be from Summit County residents.<\/p>\n
