Though daily testing data varies periodically, state figures show that the seven-day average for total tests administered has decreased since January, when the first vaccinations were just beginning for health care workers. That month, the seven-day average regularly surpassed 90,000 tests until testing numbers began generally decreasing in February and March. In April, seven-day testing averages ranged between around 70,000 and 80,000, down from peaks in November when daily tests were surpassing 100,000.
