Oregon: December 5, 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 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). Oregon never reported negatives directly, but did report in Total tests (people) until December 1, 2020. Removed time series from December 2, 2020 to present.

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 We carried over the last available value, as that was our policy at the time, however the value is out of date and potentially confusing.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

Cleanup Total PR Tests (People) value from the date the state stopped reporting this number.

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).
