After a review of the data by state and local epidemiologists, San Luis Obispo County's total COVID-19 case count has decreased by 134 cases.
County officials say some of the cases between October 2020 and early May 2021 had been duplicated.
Additionally, case counts changed for several geographic areas after county officials say they received updated patient address information. Most notably, Cal Poly's on-campus cases increased by 273 while the City of San Luis Obispo's cases decreased by 291.
Health officials say the changes do not affect the county's current orange tier status.

Health officials say two people are currently hospitalized. Another 67 are recovering at home and officials say 20,877 people have recovered.
