Here is the source document.

We have also improved the way we report the number of people who have been tested. Prior to May 1, VDH was reporting the number of unique people who had been tested for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This was a valid measure early in the response as people were typically being tested once. As this response evolves, we have made the change to report the number of unique people tested per day rather than the number of unique people who have been tested at any point during the response.
