3/16: Alert: Sequence value for "ViralTestResultDate" element of CovidInfection dataset is incorrect
The sequence value for "ViralTestResultDate" element of CovidInfection dataset is incorrect and will lead to incorrect matches if used to match with other test records. We anticipate correcting this issue by Monday, March 22. Using ResidentId+Sequence+Day will provide correct matches between ViralTestDate, ViralTestSpecimen, and ViralTestType elements. Please also note that until now, the description of the CovidInfection dataset did not clarify that for each element, only a maximum of one value is reported per resident per day. In cases of multiple tests collected on the same day, positive tests are chosen over negative tests.

3/15: Alert: Missing values in full version of demographics file
A number of demographic value categories including race, sex, ethnicity, and birthyear are missing from the full version of the demographics file. The are, however, in the incremental file. A corrected full demographics file is slated to be available by March 22. Details of the change will be provided in the release notes when deployed.
