24.3% reflects the total number of positive PCR tests in the past 7 days, divided by the total number of PCR tests in the past 7 days. This methodology is used by CDC.

43.6% reflects the number of individuals who have received their first positive PCR test within the last 7 days, divided by the number of individuals who have received their first PCR COVID-19 test within the last 7 days. It is higher because it "de-duplicates" individuals who have already received a test prior to this 7-day period.
