County of Santa Clara Updates Reporting Methodology for COVID-19 Testing Dashboard

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 26, 2020

The County of Santa Clara updated the methodology for displaying testing data on its data dashboard. Previously, the dashboard displayed the count of new individuals tested each day. The dashboard now displays the count of tests completed each day. Both count of individuals tested and count of tests completed remain valid measures of COVID-19 response activity and the County continues to track both; however, the latter better measures activities in support of the County’s May 15 guidance that many individuals such as frontline workers be tested regularly.
