Whats with the jump in Ecuador? 11k plus in a day, that's half their total cases in one day.

Comparing their stats with a pic from the day before, GUAYAS jumped from 7391 cases to 15,365, most got a big increase compared to their previous total. They must have changed their way of reporting cases.

“It’s not a rebound, it’s the presentation of delayed results” that reflects greater capacity to carry out testing in more labs, Interior Minister Maria Paula Romo said during a presentation of the data. “That’s good news.”
