Counting repeat testing drives up the percent positive. The likelihood of getting a positive test in someone who already tested positive is very high.
With some workplaces requiring negative tests before someone can return to work I would be willing to be there are a lot of repeats. This falsely drives cases and positive rate up.

It was explained that once you test positive your additional tests do not count positive or negative.

The LDH region four Dr. has issued a statement saying that this is not the recommendation anymore. The CDC evidently has made it a time sensitive deal as opposed to getting retested. I posted a link somewhere earlier in this thread I think.
“Dr. Stefanski put that out -- it's a time related thing now.
From Facebook:
Current recommendation is a “time-based strategy”. Patients who test positive for CV-19 can be removed from isolation 10 as long as they have been symptom-free for 72 hours**.
If going to work in a congregate setting (example - nursing home), we extend that to 14 days.”
Here is the link to the CDC reference:
