On March 2, 2021, the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources [announced](https://dhhr.wv.gov/News/2021/Pages/COVID-19-Daily-Update-3-2-2021.aspx) that a backlog of testing results from December and January had been reported to the state after the February 26, 2021 dashboard update was published. These testing results were mistakenly reported as positive instead of negative, and are being corrected in the electronic disease surveillance system. This issue is expected to be resolved on the dashboard within the next few days. We urge caution when interpreting numbers from this time period.
