Tags: CTP Backfill State Annotation / Source Change

On February 3, 2021, we moved Georgia’s history of Positive Antigen Tests (people) to Probable Cases, since the state calls the metric “antigen positive cases.” We also backfilled Positive (people, confirmed + probable) to include these values. This change resulted in the addition of 162,028 cases in Georgia distributed over the timeseries from November 3, 2020 onward. Georgia does not provide a full history of this number, on November 3, 2020 we record 29,937 probable cases for Georgia, many of which do not date to that day.

As of August 28, 2020, we started reporting patients Now hospitalized from the [Georgia Geospatial Information Office](https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/e40c39564f724af7bfe8fd5d88deadb6). The new count includes both patients with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis and patients under investigation, as is our standard practice where possible.

May 1, 2020 to June 21, 2020

Variables affected:

We found a new source for Georgia current hospitalizations (the state archive of situation reports) that aligns with our existing data but starts on 1 May instead of 16 May. This source also allowed us to repair two days later on (5/21 and 6/21) where Data Entry was unable to get a new data point for current hospitalization. These are historical changes only; no change to current numbers.

Variables affected:

Tags: CTP API / Logic Changes

From June 19 2020, through June 25, 2020, we erroneously captured Georgia's test number in totalTestsPeopleViral in addition to totalTestsViral. This data should be disregarded.
