Alaska: November 18, 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). Alaska never reported negatives directly and always reported in specimens, so the total time series was removed.

On November 17, 2020, Alaska announced they were removing the Recovered metric from their dashboards. We carried over the last available value, as that was our policy at the time, however the value is out of date and potentially confusing, so we are removing the carried over value. We will be keeping the time series as provided by the state, but removing the carried over values from November 17, 2020, forward.
