The 32 cases added into Galax’s coronavirus count are backlogged cases from an outside lab that does not report directly to VDH, said Forbes Hubbard. VHD acknowledged earlier this week that there could be backlog data reported in the numbers this week. This development is due to some labs beginning to report results electronically as opposed to by fax. These were backlogged cases from an outside lab that does not report directly to VDH, and are cases that occurred earlier in the summer.
