A lab error has reduced the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the City of Kawartha Lakes by another four, the region’s health unit reported late Wednesday.
In its daily situation update, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit reports 134 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the City of Kawartha Lakes, down from 138 reported on Tuesday and the 142 cases reported on Monday.
The health unit cites an error by a lab in Ottawa which reported false positives for a number of specimens. The health unit says 10 previously reported confirmed cases have since been removed following re-testing which indicated negative results for COVID-19.
