Kitsap Public Health District to retire COVID-19 data dashboards

County level data are available from the state Department of Health and CDC. 

KITSAP COUNTY, WA — Kitsap Public Health District will stop updating local COVID-19 data dashboards at the end of December. In January, COVID-19 data displays on our website will be replaced by dashboards produced by the Washington State Department of Health.

The Health District's epidemiology team has monitored and reported COVID-19 data for nearly three years, providing crucial information to guide our community’s COVID-19 response and help keep Kitsap families safe. We are rebalancing our data reporting efforts this winter to devote more attention to other health concerns.

State Department of Health dashboards are updated weekly and provide detailed, county-level data on COVID-19 disease activity, hospitalizations, vaccination, and other metrics. County-level data are also available on the CDC website.

While we will no longer be updating COVID-specific data reports after December, we plan to integrate COVID-19 surveillance into our Kitsap Respiratory Illness report to provide a more complete picture of respiratory illness activity in our area. We will share the updated report when it becomes available. 

Our COVID-19 program continues to provide prevention guidance to the community and technical assistance to organizations serving high-risk populations. 

Thank you for following our data reports! If you have questions or feedback regarding this transition, please contact pio@kitsappublichealth.org.
