CDC data tool shows COVID-19 testing, cases
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week launched the COVID-19 Data Tracker, a website showing data on U.S. laboratory testing and cases reported to CDC from state health departments and territorial jurisdictions. The site currently shows aggregate testing and case data and county-level case data, as well as data on school closures and other “social impact” events. CDC plans to add county-level testing data in the future. The number of positive tests in a state does not equal the number of cases, because a patient can be tested more than once and not all laboratory tests are reported to CDC.
