Oregon: November 26, 2020

We used to get confirmed cases in OR by using their positive people tested number and probably by subtracting that number from lumped. However, this number included people tested by antigen, it was never really confirmed. We are clearing the history of this field.

On October 9, 2020, Oregon announced they were removing the Recovered metric from their reporting. We carried over the last available value, as that was our policy at the time, however the value is out of date and potentially confusing. We will be keeping the time series as provided by the state, but removing the carried over values from October 9, 2020, forward.

Shifting all Oregon time series by 1 day, to match better with their reporting times and our daily publish times

Oregon is publishing a table for ERL received test results, which we can use to backfill the historic time series of Total Tests (PCR), Positive Tests (PCR) and Negative Tests (PCR).

On November 26, 2020, Oregon's Negative PCR tests (specimens) were input as 960,657 based on a number from a press release due to the dashboard not being updated because of the Thanksgiving holiday. On November 27, 2020, the dashboard showed 960,604 negative tests. The decision was made to revert November 26, 2020's Negative PCR tests (specimens) value to 960469, the value shown on our historical screenshots of the dashboard to ensure that our time series was consistent.
