COVID-19 North Carolina Dashboard

On August 29, 2020, LabCorp submitted approximately 1,163 positive tests results for which the majority were completed during the first of half of August 2020. Because one person may have multiple tests, these tests represent 886 unique cases. This submission caused an artificially high number of cases reported for August 29. These 886 cases have now been distributed to the dates in August when they would have been reported to the state.

Knowing when to dial up or down measures that slow the spread of the virus depends on North Carolina’s testing, tracing and trends. This dashboard provides an overview on the metrics and capacities that the state is following.
