"New Cases" shows the <br />number of new cases by day. "7-Day Rolling Average" shows a 7-day average of new cases in order to account for the lag- <br />time of how cases are reported by county health departments to the state. On Sept. 25, the state Department of Health and <br />Human Services started including the cases and deaths diagnosed via antigen tests and the number of antigen tests <br />completed.
