On Aug. 12, NCDHHS announced corrections to the state’s daily and cumulative completed COVID-19 test counts after discovering a discrepancy in testing data submitted by LabCorp. According to LabCorp, "at-home test collection kits that originated out-of-state but were processed in North Carolina were inadvertently included in the manual data submission to the state." This reduced the overall number of N.C. tests completed by about 200,000. NCDHHS said the error did not affect the number of positive cases or the percent of tests that were positive, as they are calculated with different data.
