Augusta University Health says a miscommunication delayed South Carolina from receiving coronavirus test results for thousands of residents. As a result the error led to the reporting on Monday of 15,000 results dating as far back as March 18.
According to reports, South Carolina officials said that 2,000 of the test results were positive. Because of the time range, most of the infections probably aren’t still active.
South Carolina’s cumulative test results were updated after the new information was provided by AU.
