The Indian Health Service updated its coronavirus testing data, showing results as of 11:59 pm Eastern on June 14, 2020.
The data, however, contains a number of anomalies. The number of tests, positive results and negative results are all lower than figures reported on June 13, making it impossible to adequately compare the outcomes.
The number of tests in the Phoenix Area, for example, dropped dramatically from 27,118 to 16,510. The Billings Area also saw a decline in the number in reported tests.
The IHS said it is looking into the discrepancies.
