A TV News outlet's investigation into state-issued daily COVID-19 testing data revealed errors in Florida's positivity rates.
The report uncovered incomplete data reporting from some Florida laboratories resulted in errors on the state’s report on virus positivity rates, according to alocal TV news outlet, Fox 35 News.
The Fox 35 news report added, “Countless labs have reported a 100 percent positivity rate, which means every single person tested was positive. Other labs had very high positivity rates.”
The state data showed Orlando Health, for example, reported a 98 percent positivity rate. Lee Memorial Hospital Lab, PanCare of Florida, Inc and Advance Medical of Naples all reported 100 percent positivity rates; no negative results were included.
