A day after a data dump by a lab in Allegheny County led to more than 1,300 additional covid cases being reported, the county saw 403 cases on Thursday.
The abnormally high number of cases Wednesday was attributed to GS Lab’s delayed return of data to the state and county.
The 403 cases are more in line with daily reports since the beginning of the year. The seven-day average before the data dump was in the 400s. With Wednesday’s inclusion of the data, the seven-day average jumps to 548 for Thursday.
