The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday updated its COVID-19 tracker for Florida over the past few days after the state’s department of health appealed publically for an update.
The CDC told Fox News in an email on Tuesday that it was working with the state’s health department to correct the information.
The state took to Twitter on Monday to ask the CDC to update its COVID-19 case tracker because it incorrectly combined “MULTIPLE days into one.” The Sunday total was the state’s worst ever, according to the CDC data.
Multiple media organizations picked up on the number and the department corrected the stories online with some bite.
