Improvements Coming to COVID-19 Daily Status Report

Posted June 1, 2020 by Michael Hokanson

Effective Tuesday, June 2, there will be several improvements to the COVID-19 Daily Status Report on the Georgia Department of Public Health’s (DPH) website.

These changes are designed to make the dashboard more user-friendly while providing an accurate picture of COVID-19 in Georgia.

The changes to the Daily Status Report will include:

• Once daily updates at 3 p.m. to allow time to process and validate laboratory

and case reports.

• Reordering the display of key summary metrics as follows: Confirmed COVID-19 Cases, Hospitalizations, Deaths, ICU Admissions.
• A breakdown of the total number of molecular (PCR) tests, the total number

of serology tests, and the number of positives and percentage of positives for

each test type.

• Revised charts of key demographics that more clearly present data.
• Improved usability of charts and refinements to labelling and supporting

documentation of the data. 

DPH will regularly review and update features of the dashboard to improve data quality and accuracy.
