The state is now updating its totals at 3 p.m. daily, as of Friday, after previously doing so each day at 2 p.m.
The numbers often do not reflect an individual county’s case count because the counties may report confirmed cases a day earlier than the state. The state is now reporting positive tests as of 10 a.m. on the same day.
The jump in new daily cases is likely due to an increase in testing and a backlog of results now being reported.
