Allegany County Health Department issues clarification on COVID-19 numbers

From Allegany County Health Department-
We wanted to clarify the statistics between our page and the NYS tracker. We are providing true and accurate information. Numbers relating to positive COVID-19 individuals and fatalities are reviewed by our team daily. The numbers being reported on the NYS tracker display differ because the State uses results from a reporting system and does not perform checks to ensure that all the data is pertinent to the county in question. This appears to be an issue for several other counties as well. At this time, per information from the State, it is not possible to make updates to the NYS tracker to resolve the apparent discrepancies.
