I can't think of an explanation of how the number of tests was higher by almost 6,000. Frequently positive tests are repeated for confirmation, but that would only account for approximately 700 of the "surplus" 6,000 tests.
I figured this out ... the number of positive and negative cases is for the previous day (currently 18 May) but the number of tests run (in the same report!) is for the preceding day, in this case 17 May. A very confusing way to present this data.
