A recent report in the New York Times showed that 90% of COVID-19 positive results were non-infectious/false positives due to the high sensitivity of the tests (called the cycle threshold).

The cycle threshold for Arizona’s COVID-19 tests remains unknown.
When asked by the media. AZDHS punted this question to the testing labs and stated that the state was NOT tracking the sensitivity numbers.

This means that Arizona has been issuing policies that affect millions of citizens without critical details to inform those decisions.
And there appears to be no effort to obtain this information now that the state knows it is missing.

Arizonans should demand the sensitivity levels of our state’s COVID-19 tests. Otherwise, we may not be able to trust our COVID-19 positive test results.
