As of Dec. 20, the Maryland Department of Health reported that “top-line” COVID-19 data was restored and it showed that an additional 28,541 cases have been confirmed since Dec. 3, the last day of full reporting before a cyberattack was discovered that disrupted operations.
The website also showed the seven-day average for the testing positivity rate had jumped from 5.4% on Dec. 3, to 10.2% on Dec. 20.
Not all of Maryland's COVID-19 data has been restored however, the state still does not have up the latest numbers of those who have died from the virus.
Health officials urge all residents to get vaccinated or get a booster if they have not already done so to fight off disease as the rapidly spreading Omicron and Delta variants of the Coronavirus have been detected in the state.
