If the same person goes to get COVID checked and returns for additional five times then five individual infections are recorded not just one; shows how the figures are being skewed.

That’s actually incorrect. Each case applies only to each individual person. A person who tests positive multiple times will be counted only as one positive case. That’s why each state has more positive tests than they have positive cases:

“The number of positive tests in a state is not equal to the number of cases, as one person may be tested more than once.”
