## Flu Tests

* **Earliest issue available:** April 29, 2020
* **Last issued:** May 19, 2020
* **Number of data revisions since May 19, 2020:** 0

* **Time type:** day (see [date format docs](../covidcast_times.md))

Data source based on flu lab tests, provided to us by Quidel, Inc. When a
patient (whether at a doctor’s office, clinic, or hospital) has COVID-like
symptoms, doctors may perform a flu test to rule out seasonal flu (influenza),
because these two diseases have similar symptoms. Using this lab test data, we
estimate the total number of flu tests per medical device (a measure of testing
frequency), and the percentage of flu tests that are *negative* (since ruling
out flu leaves open another cause---possibly covid---for the patient's
symptoms), in a given location, on a given day.

The number of flu tests conducted in individual counties can be quite small, so
we do not report these signals at the county level.

The flu test data is no longer updated as of May 19, 2020, as the number of flu
tests conducted during the summer (outside of the normal flu season) is quite
small. The data may be updated again when the Winter 2020 flu season begins.
