Covid-19 data portal gets an update

Austin Public Health has unveiled its new Covid-19 digital dashboard. The new site, which is available in mobile and desktop formats, has been redesigned and moved off of the city’s Covid-19 site. Case counts, deaths and hospitalization data will continue to be updated daily, and demographic data will be updated weekly. In addition, according to a news update from the city, the dashboard now includes:

• Demographic data of all confirmed cases, hospitalizations and deaths
• Breakdown of Covid-19 symptom onset in comparison to local policy implementations
• Number of confirmed cases and deaths reported each day since the first reported case (March 13) as well as the first symptom onset date (March 2)
• Updates to visuals representing the progression of cases and hospitalizations since the first reported case
• Further clarification and context on information provided on the dashboard.
