The number of reported cases of new coronavirus in Arizona was 18 as of Monday morning.

Six new cases of the illness, which is also called COVID-19, tested positive over the weekend. The total number of cases in Maricopa County is now eight. There have been five cases reported in Pinal County, four in Pima County and one in Graham County, state data shows.

The state data reported early Monday did not include the number of tests pending, as it has in the past.

By noon, the numbers had been updated to say 63 tests are pending results, 200 people had been tested and 125 were negative.

However, the total number of people tested as reported by the state on its site no longer reflects the actual total number of people in Arizona that have been tested for COVID-19, the state site clarifies. That's because it does not include the number of tests done in private, commercial labs.

The five Maricopa County cases that tested positive over the weekend:

A woman in her 30s who is in isolation and recovering at home.

A man in his 20s who is recovering in isolation at home.

A woman in her 70s who is recovering in isolation at home.

A man in his 80s who is recovering in isolation at home.

A man in his 80s who is hospitalized.

Who is getting tested?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been updating its testing recommendations. Right now this is what they are:

Hospitalized patients who have signs and symptoms compatible with COVID-19 in order to inform decisions related to infection control.

Other symptomatic individuals such as older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions and/or an immunocompromised state that may put them at higher risk for poor outcomes (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, receiving immunosuppressive medications, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease).

Any persons including health care personnel, who within 14 days of symptom onset had close contact with a suspect or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patient, or who have a history of travel from affected geographic areas within 14 days of their symptom onset.

The Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center is available to take COVID-19 calls from Arizona providers and the general public: 1-844-542-8201.

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's COVID-19 Resource Center as of Monday listed the worldwide case count at nearly 175,000, including 6,705 deaths.
