The number of tests performed. |
The Senegalese Ministry for Health and Social Action publishes an official dashboard alongside daily press releases that report the number of tests performed ("nombre de tests réalisés") and the number of confirmed cases ("cas positifs" / "cas confirmes"). The dashboard provides daily testing figures since 1 April 2020, which we supplement with daily press releases dating back to 28 February 2020. We have cross-checked a sample of the dashboard figures against the press release figures to ensure consistency.
The fact that the number of reported tests with positive results ("son revenus positifs") equals the number of confirmed cases implies that the testing figures equal the number of people tested.
Note that, due to the way the data is presented by the official source, the time series may be impacted by retrospective revisions made by the source – see our [FAQ here](https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing#does-your-data-reflect-retrospective-updates-made-by-the-source). |
