As of COB yesterday, 3-30-2020 (per this graph, above, that was sent out by staff) there have been a total of 2,777 COVID-19 tests administered locally over the last month in Escambia County.
But this morning on Florida's COVID-19 Dashboard, below, it lists "total tested" number now as 787.
The delta between how many tests have been performed and how many the state lists as "total tested" is now 1,990 tests.
We know getting the results back is resulting in a lag in reporting, at least that's what we are being told. But why does the State of Florida's dashboard not list the correct number of tests administered, 2,777, but rather a much smaller number 787?? And where does the 787 figure come from? It isn't accurate, and the delta this week remains large--nearly 2,000.
