+10,028 which brings the total to 210,585
More than 10K in a day is a new record increase for the state. Some of this is due to the 3 day weekend, numbers still catching up from the long break. Even with the catch up out of 57,558 test performed the positives come in over 10K. This is a stunningly high positive rate, indicates testing is not nearly sufficient and that the actual number of cases out there is much, much higher.
