The Florida Health Department is not reporting COVID-19 test results Saturday due to the department receiving approximately 400,000 previously-reported COVID-19 test results from a laboratory not affiliated with the state Friday night.

The department released a statement saying the massive data and the need to de-duplicate hundreds of thousands of results prevented the department from processing yesterday's results.

Officials said the daily report will resume tomorrow. The Department of Health said this is not related to notifying people of their results.
