OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – “The lab did what they thought what they wanted to do,” stated State Epidemiologist, Dr. Jared Taylor.
Dr. Taylor says that lab reported 1,300 instances to the state, however the information weren’t suitable with the state’s system.
“We had these information stepping into and the instances contained there in form of going into an abyss and being misplaced,” stated Taylor.
Taylor says the difficulty occurred over a 6-week interval, with the vast majority of these instances coming from December and February.
“We’re merely speaking about case reporting to us and to the counties and so there was an interruption within the potential to do case investigation and make contact with tracing,” he stated.
He says all the instances got here from a single, decentralized testing facility. The backlog can be reported on Wednesday’s each day report from the Oklahoma State Division of Well being.
As well as, 1,800 extra deaths can be added. The state says it is associated to a discrepancy in deaths reported between the state well being division and the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention.
Taylor does not consider a mistake of this scale, for this period, will occur once more.
Though, he did stress that doesn’t imply there received’t be different reporting points.
“There can be corrections so I wish to go on the file there can be corrections. There can be additions there can be issues simply because it is inconceivable to do that in actual time and never have these,” he stated.
