Monday, 31 January 2022 15:34

The Health Unit will stop providing daily COVID-19 updates on the dashboard.

Southwestern Public Health is changing the way they share local COVID-19 information.

Starting today the Health Unit is making several changes to the dashboard. 

These changes include the following: 

- The COVID-19 Vaccine Dashboard is updated Tuesdays and Thursdays by 2 p.m. Tabs containing percent increase in coverage are updated weekly on Fridays. 

- The COVID-19 Cases Dashboard is updated on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays by noon (excludes holidays).

- Confirmed cases represent the known positive PCR test results that are reported to Southwestern Public Health. Changes to testing eligibility will affect the number of reported positive cases reported. 

- Due to changes in case and contact management, all cases are removed from the dashboard after 10 days regardless of outcome.

- Exposure information is not available.

- To see different types of information, click the blue boxes along the top of the chart, or click the grey arrows to scroll through all the data.
