In addition to this, there are 526 cases that I currently can't account for because DSHS' numbers do not add up.
I have reached out to DSHS to explain the discrepancy.

A record 154,848 new molecular test results were reported for yesterday (DSHS posts test numbers a day late). Some of these are likely backlogged older tests.

The 7-day positive rate in Texas is now 5.94% (the first time below 6% since May 23).
(Note: this positive rate metric uses the date that tests were taken, NOT when results were reported. Therefore, the positive rate is not affected by backlogged results).
