COVID Test Rate Correction Reveals Low Positivity Rate

There was an error in the number of COVID-19 tests most recently reported in Connecticut. Revised numbers from the state department of Public Health show there were actually more tests conducted than initially reported in figures released Tuesday. The number of positive tests remained the same. That led to a lower positivity rate of just 0.7 percent. That positivity rate is lower than Connecticut has seen recently.
