The Alabama Department of Public Health is revising record-high coronavirus numbers reported Thursday.

ADPH said a data entry error resulted in COVID-19 lab results reported to the state’s health department tables being marked as positive when they were in negative. No patients received incorrect results due to the data error, ADPH said.

“The issue was quickly discovered and a correction in the number of reported cases has been made,” ADPH said. “The error only affected the numbers reported on our website and the dashboard” for July 22 that were reported the morning of July 23.

ADPH reported 2,283 new cases as of 10 a.m. July 23. The revised number is 1,933, lowering the total that day by 350. If correct, the 2,283 number would have been the highest number of coronavirus cases reported in the state in a single day.

Shortly after the case numbers were reported, officials in Mobile announced they were investigating an error involving an automated process from a lab that incorrectly counted some negative as positive, resulting in Mobile County showing an increase of 354 cases in a single day.
