Reporting all positive covid tests with demographics is an onerous task for health care providers. With the influx and wide use of at home testing, the reported positives by health care providers does not capture the full number of positive cases. 

Demographics are helpful for contact tracing but we know that contact tracing is not being done by the state department of health.

If numbers are important than reporting aggregate negative and positive covid tests should be all that is necessary. 

Thanks for taking this under advisement.
