An expired certificate and outage led to an undercounting of COVID-19 cases reported in California after 250,00-300,000 lab results were prevented from being uploaded to California’s CalREDIE reporting system. California has stated that the system is not designed for the volume of data it is now handling. California is accelerating the creation of a new reporting system that can handle the increased loads. The state is moving forward with plans to open schools in the state of California to monitor outbreaks and community spread.
