Pennsylvania: June 4, 2020

Update PCR testing series from state open data portal. Our data started in September 2020, and the state published data going back all the way to March 2020. The wording of the dataset describes it as encounters rather than specimens.

PA started providing probables and confirmed values on 5/22. CTP started tracking confirmed values on 5/22 but started reporting probables on 7/28. We can backfill using positive - positive PCR cases and screenshots to have probables back until 5/22.

PA clarified that the time series we have been capturing is people so we are moving their full time series to the "peoplewise" column Total Tests (PCR) People

PA doesn't report Total Tests, so we have to add positive + negative, and the negative units are unclear. So we moved the Total Tests metric to "Total Tests (PCR)" from "Total PCR Tests (People)." Additionally, we are backfilling the Total Tests (PCR) metric from 3/11-5/17 using the positive case values plus the negative case values we had already recorded.
