“Incorrect identification of facilities resulted in duplicate entries, coding issues and the inclusion of negative COVID-19 test results which were then posted to the dashboard as confirmed positive cases,” the health department said.
Department spokesperson Shannon Litz said it discovered the errors last week when the data was reviewed with the Department of Corrections. She believes the errors were all made “recently,” but some date back weeks.
The number of COVID-19 cases at the Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center in North Las Vegas dropped from 142 cases to 74 this week after some prisoner and staff cases were removed from the data. Records show the 142 total had been on the dashboard since at least mid-January.
