Hundreds of COVID-19 tests that have already come back positive sat unreported in Santa Cruz County as of Thursday, health officials there said, due to continued technical problems with the state’s online database.

Two-thirds of the county’s 848 publicly reported cases have come in the past two weeks, Dr. Gail Newell, the county’s health officer, said Thursday, and she expected that number to be “well over 1,000” by early next week.
