Ohio: September 3, 2020

On January 27, 2021 we began removing negatives that were created from mixed units (specimens minus cases or test encounters minus cases) for states that are using explicit totals in our main total test results field (called totalTestResults in the API). Ohio never reported negatives directly and always reported in specimens, so the total time series was removed.

On December 29, 2020, Ohio provided a timeseries of Total Tests (PCR), Positive Tests (PCR), Total Antigen Tests, and Positive Antigen Tests. The totals for PCR from the download did not initially match the dashboard because of a lag, but starting on January 6, 2021, the download matched the dashboard. We are backfilling all 4 metrics from this download, which will result in the addition of three new metrics (positive tests PCR, positive tests antigen, total tests antigen) and a full timeseries for Total Tests (PCR), enabling a totalTestResults switch.
