In a special note, the media bulletin mentioned a possible discrepancy in a report of tests and confirmed cases from a private lab, due to its high positivity rate. The said private laboratory tested 3726 total samples and 2672 came out positive among them, showing a 71.7 percent which is a gross variation in the notified positivity rate of COVID-19 to date.

As the issue needs to be evaluated by an expert committee, the data of the said lab has been kept under hold.
