Florida Received 40,000 COVID-19 Test Results in One Day

On October 10, 2020, the Florida Department of Health announced it had 'received approximately 400,000 previously-reported COVID-19 test results from Helix Laboratory, a private lab that is not affiliated with the state of Florida.

Florida State epidemiologists are currently working to reconcile the massive size of the data file and the need to de-duplicate hundreds of thousands of results, which will take a day to finish. Therefore, Florida's daily COVID-19 report will resume before October 12, 2020.
