The variety of verified COVID-19 cases in Cherokee County dropped from 12 to 11 on Saturday following a statement that some info might been reported inaccurately.
The Alabama Department of Public Health announced Saturday that previous reports of positive coronavirus case numbers in Alabama were wrong.
The discovery was made Friday, the department stated.
In a series of tweets, the department states “an outside entity erroneously marked (coronavirus) lab results as favorable when in reality they were unfavorable.”
Varieties of postive cases in all of Alabama, and including counties such as Cherokee, now have actually dropped.
The department says it is working to correct the errors, nothing that “it might take a couple of days.”
