ADH Adds 20,000 Missing COVID-19 Test Results to Washington County Data Set

This month, the Arkansas Department of Health cleaned up its COVID-19 data, which included adding 20,000 missing test results to Washington County's data set. The missing tests were mostly negative, which decreased the county's positivity rate from 20 percent to about 12. The correction also means that Washington County was testing at about the same rate as Benton County this whole time.
