Arizona reported 10,322 new cases today, a portion of which was reallocated by Worldometer to the preceding date, Nov. 30 (when an unusually low number of cases, 822, were reported), based on the following statement released by the Department of Health Services: "This large number of newly reported cases is a result of the extended four-day weekend. Most days, local health agencies review and classify newly reported cases (identifying them as confirmed, probable, or not a case). They will follow up with healthcare providers and laboratories if there are any questions about details on a case, which may take additional time over the holidays. The confirmed and probable cases identified are then reported out on our dashboard the next day as the number of new cases. With the long weekend, classification was delayed for a large portion of cases, resulting in much higher numbers than usual.
