Summit County reported six new positive cases of the COVID-19 virus Thursday, bringing the county\u2019s total to 40. <\/p>\n

A total of 138 people have been tested in the county. There have been 79 negative tests and 30 pending tests, according to the county\u2019s update on its novel coronavirus webpage<\/a><\/i>. There have been zero deaths.<\/p>\n

The number of total tests isn\u2019t a sum of positive, negative and pending tests (149) because the county is including some people in the positive number who are untested but have exhibited strong COVID-19 symptoms and had known close contacts with someone who tested positive. Additionally, pending tests will appear in the county a person was tested but will be transferred to the person\u2019s county of residence once the results are returned, according to officials.<\/p>\n

County officials believe the number of confirmed positive cases in the county is an underrepresentation of the real spread of the illness in the area. Anyone with symptoms of respiratory illness is being asked to enter them into the Summit County Symptom Tracker.<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n
