Error in nursing home results almost balances out eight positive tests
From County Judge Steve Young Tuesday evening:
Tuesday the Milam County Health Department was advised by a testing lab that seven nursing home tests results were invalid due to lab test contamination. Five of those tests were for Milam County residents. Therefore, our case count has been adjusted to reflect those contaminated tests, meaning that our confirmed case count only increased by three today when we actually received eight new positive cases.
Confirmed cases – 260 – up 3
Active 45 – down 5
Monitored 98 – down 19
Hospitalized – 1 – down 3. The one remaining is in serious condition.
Fatalities -2
