1. El Paso had previously entered state data manually, but on Nov. 1 transitioned to an automatic upload for reports coming from the state.
2. The data received on 1,583 coronavirus cases on Nov. 1 and 2 was entered into the system on Nov. 3, increasing the case count to 3,100.

4. El Paso Health Director Angela Mora said she expects similar issues to happen in the future as the department refines the automatic upload process.
