The state reported that without the Quest results, the positivity rate for new cases totaling 3,773 for Aug. 31 is 5.9%. With the Quest results, that total rises to 7,643 cases with a positivity rate of 6.8%. The state said the majority of the Quest results were for tests more than two weeks old, and some as old as five months.
DeSantis stressed that “the individuals who tested positive at that time were notified by the lab, which is obviously very important. The lab just did not submit those results to the state. ... That’s not acceptable.”
The company responded to DeSantis’ move with a statement saying the delay was due to a technical issue.

The case total, even minus the Quest data, is higher than Monday’s 10-week low of 1,885 new cases.
