New Ottawa County COVID-19 data hub
to be released Tuesday, January 26
The Ottawa County COVID-19 data dashboard is getting a new look starting Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:30 pm. The improved COVID-19 Hub contains the same data sets as the previous dashboard but has improved loading time and access to even more data sets. Data provide situational awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic locally and statewide and are used to inform policies and decision making.
Why did we create a hub?
Since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Ottawa County on March 15, 2020, we have continued to track different data metrics to provide situational awareness. Data aids in decision making around our response planning and public health recommendations.
The pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, and it is important to provide the most up-to-date local data in an easily digestible way. The new data hub hosts local COVID-19 related data in one location and links to additional data resources from other agencies.
Does it replace the current dashboard?
All data in the previous dashboard are featured on the hub site, including more statistics and visualizations that were previously available. The new hub site is the main data page, which will still include a link to the previous dashboard version.
How can I access the hub?
Visit the Ottawa County COVID-19 Response page at miOttawa.org/COVID19 and select the COVID-19 Data button. The Data Hub also has a feature to translate it into multiple languages by clicking on the Translate button on the left side of the page.
