"In an interview on Saturday, the Health Department's deputy chief science officer, Dr. Austin Porter, said the state recently contracted with a third-party vendor to clean up the state's data on covid-19 infections.

Porter said the vendor worked to remove individuals from the data who were tested in Arkansas but have been identified as residents of other states. The update would be reflected in Saturday's new numbers, Porter said.

The state will be "reducing the number of positives that we have been reporting," Porter said."
