Florida's Department of Health has stopped publishing the state's medical examiners' coronavirus death data after finding that their count was about 10% higher than the state's official tally, the Tampa Bay Times reported on Wednesday.
The health department has withheld the medical examiners' data for more than a week, according to the Times.
The Times reported that state officials said earlier this month that they wanted to review the data following the newspaper's report about the discrepancy with medical examiners' figures. But the Times said on Wednesday that they had not provided details on "what they plan to remove."
The state health department is still releasing its own numbers, with less detail than the medical examiners' data.
