According to the New York Times, they will follow up with the state sources to get those resolved. Note that there are some cases and deaths for which the county is unknown. If you are unfamiliar with looking at log scales, this may provide a clearer display of the relative magnitude of cases among the counties. The next figure displays the same counts of confirmed cases, but does not use a log scale. Notes on the plot show when some of Governor Lamont’s executive orders went into effect. In these plots the count of “confirmed cases” only includes cases with a positive laboratory test. It is widely acknowledged that there are many cases with clear symptoms of Covid-19 for which no positive test has been done to confirm that diagnosis. Similar slopes signal similar growth rates. The cumulative number of cases is plotted on a log scale, which makes it easier to compare the rate of growth among the eight counties of Connecticut. The first plot tracks the cumulative number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Connecticut. I have added some plots of new counts rather than only cumulative counts. This evens out some of the day to day variation.Īs the curve has become flattened it is has become interesting to focus on the number of new cases and new deaths each day.
The most visible change is that the counts are now smoothed using a rolling average over a seven-day period. There also is more data available, and I will use it to make some additions to these plots. The data comes directly from data.ct.gov so that makes it easier to do this daily update. Self-test kits can be purchased at pharmacies and other retail outlets.A later post provides a better view of the 2020-2022 data on Covid-19 in Connecticut. Additional COVID-19 testing options, please visit: Community-Based Testing Sites for COVID-19 | HHS.gov.
The CDC has developed a tool to search for COVID-19 testing locations: Testing Location | CDC.gov. COVID-19 hospital admission levels can help individuals and communities decide which prevention actions they can take based on the latest information. While COVID-19 continues to be an important public health problem, we can all stay healthy by getting fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and influenza, staying home when we are sick, and practicing good hygiene. We have not seen an increase in deaths associated with COVID-19. Over the past 15 days, increasing concentrations of RNA for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, have been observed in four of six wastewater treatment facilities participating in Connecticut’s wastewater surveillance program. Over the past three weeks the number of patients admitted to hospitals with COVID-19 infections has increased from 66 hospitalizations for the week ending July 8 to 103 hospitalizations the week ending July 29. The 2023-2024 report will include data that is relevant to current COVID-19 disease activity and trends and integrate COVID-19 with viral respiratory surveillance reporting, including influenza and RSV.ĬOVID-19 activity remains low in Connecticut however, we are closely monitoring several trends that are indicating increasing activity statewide. 5, 2023, and continue through the winter months, as part of DPH’s respiratory viral diseases surveillance reporting program. COVID-19 surveillance data is still being collected and posted on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Data Tracker website.Ĭonnecticut’s COVID-19 public data reporting will resume on Oct.
DPH continues to monitor COVID-19 data using both statewide surveillance data and national indicators even though we are not posting a public report. With the end of the Public Health emergency in May of this year, the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) paused its COVID-19 public data reporting. of Public Health said COVID-19 public data reporting will be paused until October 3:
