FIfty nine percent of all positive tested Covid-19 cases in the state have recovered, an increase of two percent from Friday. The state defines recovered: “Individuals who have recovered is determined using a calculation, similar to what is being done by several other states. If a case has not been reported as a death, and it is more than 30 days past the date of their first positive test (or onset of symptoms) then an individual is considered recovered.”
