[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 4557507, member: 45230"] "On Friday, July 17, during a press conference, a spokesperson mentioned that 85 infants under the age of one had tested positive for coronavirus," Canales said in a statement released Saturday afternoon. "This number reflects the cumulative total of positive tests for infants under the age of 1 since the beginning of testing in mid-March, which has resulted in 8171 positive test results." Canales' statement was meant to indicate the total number of infants who have tested positive throughout the pandemic. "However, without this context, stating this number during our press conference led many to believe that we had a sudden surge in infants under the age of one testing positive. We have NOT had a sudden surge of 85 infants testing positive." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.kristv.com/news/coronavirus/canales-clarifies-reports-about-local-infant-covid-numbers[/URL] [/QUOTE]
