"To clarify, each positive test reported is a new, unique case," said the city in a statement.

"This is true for every positive test result that has been received since March when we saw this pandemic really take flight.

"In Tom Green County, we are not testing individuals multiple times and counting each test as a new case.

Whenever someone is released from quarantine, the health department and local health authority are following CDC protocols.".

"Since March, the City of San Angelo/Tom Green County Health Department has used the non-test-based strategy only.

Tom Green County’s numbers are not inflated; each reported positive case is an entirely new case.".

The Tom Green County Health Department only reports polymerase chain reaction diagnostic tests or PCR tests as they are more commonly known!
