Clarification by the Health and Welfare Information Systems Centre (TEHIK) regarding the publication of data

From first-time positive tests, eight have been re-allocated from the earlier period, the Health Board reports. 

Eight first-time positive test results had a testing date of March 14, and eight first-time positive test results with the testing dates of April 17 and 18.

The March 14 testing date has given two positive results from Saare County, five from Võru County, and one positive result with an unregistered residence. 

Tests from April 17 and 18 have given six first-time positive test results from Harju County, one from Viljandi County, and one positive result with an unregistered residence.

Healthcare providers (including laboratories) can correct, modify, and invalidate the documents retrospectively, the Health Board says.

The Health Board adds it always publishes updated information for the previous 24 hours as received from the health information system (TIS), as open data. 

Laboratories introduce changes, corrections, and deletions; these will be included under the open data from the previous period, the Health Board says.
