Since 13 May 2020, the National Public Health Agency publishes the number of tests in a daily-updated file, available on the French portal for public health data (Géodes). The virological surveillance indicators come from the screening information system which feeds back data from PCR tests carried out by all city laboratories and hospitals concerning SARS-COV2. These data exclude uninterpretable results and count the number of tests, not the number of patients tested. The time taken to report back tests may exceed 9 days in some cases. The indicators are adjusted daily according to the reception of the results. This data does not allow us to publish any cumulative total, since no information is available on how many people had been tested prior to the first day of reporting. Note that the positive rate published by the National Public Health Agency is calculated using a different method from our own estimate: it divides the number of positive cases by the number of people tested. Due to the issue of people undergoing multiple rounds of testing not being counted repeatedly in this number of people tested, we divide instead the number of positive cases by the number of tests performed. For this reason, the positive rate shown in our data will by definition be lower than the official estimate, but its trend over time will be the same.
