Through Thursday, Central District Health was reporting 39,529 confirmed cases and 7,603 probable cases in Ada County. Health and Welfare, however, showed Ada County with 39,988 confirmed cases and 7,165 probable cases.
âWe recently recognized a data-entry issue wherein some probable cases related to antigen test results were entered into the stateâs system by CDH as confirmed,â district spokesperson Christine Myron wrote in an email to the Idaho Statesman. âWe are working to reconcile this, and as we continue to do so, the confirmed cases on the stateâs site will come down, and the number of probable cases will go up.
