The daily new-case number is 5,352, but that number is artificially high, according to a UDoH explanation, which says approximately 1,300 of those cases should have been reported Friday, but were not due to technical difficulties with one of two data collection systems used in the daily reports.
With 1,300 cases subtracted, today’s new positive cases reported would have been 4,052.
