UPDATE NOTES

Why do Yavapai County’s COVID-19 Number Differ from ADHS?

As positive tests get reported, the Yavapai County Epidemiologist reviews the patient information. In some cases, the information is entered multiple times. The hospital may enter the information, as well as the lab, and there are often hyphenated last names reported in varying ways. During the review, duplicates are discovered and consolidated.

What’s the deal with the data?

The updated data the public sees each day about the number of COVID-19 cases in Arizona reflects the spread of the disease as it stood a week ago or longer because of delays that take place in obtaining results. In addition, it only reflects part of the spread because of limited test availability and restrictions on who can receive a test. Compared to the early days of coronavirus, test reporting speed has improved significantly. On average, the county receives results reported to the state about four days from the test date. The range from a day or two to up to eight days depends on where the test is collected and where it’s sent for processing.
