Walgreens Pharmacy coding error results in under-reporting of 59,000 COVID-19 test result

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Counties across the state of Texas are likely going to see their COVID-19 statistics change yet again as a new state data dump is set to take place.
The Texas Department of State Health Services told 3News that Walgreens Pharmacy reported experiencing a coding error which they have now corrected. Because of this some 59,000 COVID-19 test results will be coming down to counties throughout the state.
It is not yet clear how many of those cases are from the Coastal Bend. It is also not clear how many of those test results were positive.
We've spoken with a media representative from Walgreens and sent over our questions and an interview request. We'll update the story when we hear back.
