*The Division of Public Health identified a technical issue in its contact tracing system software that caused duplicate records to be included in the cumulative number of positive cases displayed Sept. 15 - Sept. 17. The duplicate records have been excluded, which is reflected in today’s update. As a result, the increase to the overall total number of positive cases is less than the number of new cases reported yesterday.

Case counts and test data by date of report can vary significantly from day to day for a variety of reasons. In addition to changes due to actual changes in disease incidence, trends are strongly influenced by testing patterns (who gets tested and why), testing availability, lab analysis backlogs, lab reporting delays, new labs joining our electronic laboratory reporting system, mass screenings, etc.
