* Note: The numbers in this summary represent cumulative counts since states began reporting. In this summary and full report, the data are based on how public agencies collect, categorize and post information. All data reported by state/local health departments are preliminary and subject to change and reporting may change over time. Notably, in the summer of 2021, some states have revised cases counts previously reported, begun reporting less frequently, or dropped metrics previously reported. For example, the Nebraska COVID-19 dashboard is no longer available as of June 30, 2021. Readers should consider these factors - see Report for full details. States may have additional information on their web sites.
