The number of recoveries recorded Saturday increased by three to total 1,057, including 833 among patients with confirmed coronavirus cases and 224 among patients with probable cases.
The recovery figures combined with the new case figures and the number of deaths attributed to coronavirus shows the state has 343 active coronavirus cases, 271 among those with laboratory confirmed cases and 72 among those with probable cases.
A probable case is one where the patient has not been tested for coronavirus, but shows symptoms of the disease and has been in contact with someone with a confirmed case. As of Saturday, the state had recorded 296 probable cases since mid-March.
