Yesterday, we updated our COVID-19 data page with a new dashboard and a cleaner, easier to navigate design. The new “At a Glance” dashboard will show the latest key information such as case rate, hospitalization rate, outbreak numbers and vaccination percentage. All other dashboards and data tables remain, but more easily accessed. Case and vaccination data will now be on the same page. You can read more about it in our Your Reliable Source Blog.
