Utah: August 8, 2020

On February 12, 2021, we cleared the history of Utah's Confirmed cases field, which we previously filled using data from its positive people tested via PCR number. Utah does not present this figure as confirmed cases and instead calls its main case number, which includes both PCR and antigen tests, "lab-confirmed cases." We are not going to duplicate UT's main case number into confirmed cases to replace this positive PCR individuals number because the definition the state uses for "confirmed" is not in accordance with CSTE definitions.

Update negatives from Utah's data download from "Overview_Number of People Tested" for "PCR/amplification" test type

We missed 1 day when we did UT total-pcr-people backfill last week

Update PCR tested people from the download files provided by Utah. The number shown on the dashboard, that was used during daily publication includes both pcr and antigen tested people

Utah provides a timeseries of positive and negative PCR tests that can be summed to get the total. We are using it to backfill these columns, which were previously lumped with antigen because the topline number on the website is lumped.

Utah started reporting antigen testing. This backfills the data using graphs on their page going back to 6/10
