25 of those tested that day were from TV. That is 3% of total tests that day (745) Anything under 5% is considered good by health authorities.

Also the percent positive stats you are quoting may not be accurate as some labs do not report negative tests, which skews positivity higher.

COVID test positivity is not a meaningful statistic because not all negatives are reported - Alachua Chronicle
