report by the individual case.
2. If no information is provided by any reporter on a case’s race or ethnicity, DPH classifies it as missing.

individual refused to provide information, or that the originating reporting system does not capture the
information.
4. Other indicates multiple races or that the originating reporting system does not capture the information.
5. Please note that due to rounding, percentages may not add up to 100%.
Note: DPH has issued an emergency order regarding efforts to collect complete demographic information on patients
