(10) Cases are excluded prior to interview assignment if they are identified to be residents of congregate settings (SNFs, correctional facilities), non-LA County residents, received more than 14 days post specimen collection or had lab errors (i.e., negative test results). Starting on 10/19/2020, this new exclusion resulted in a one-time only cumulative increase in the count.
