STATE DATA DASHBOARD IN HIGH DEMAND

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) COVID-19 Data Dashboard now has case counts broken down by zip code and more detailed demographic information about cases and deaths in the state. Data about the capacity of our healthcare system in Arizona has also been added to the dashboard.

For zip codes where there are between one and 10 COVID-19 positive individuals who have been identified, the dashboard will show a numerical range, either one to five or six to 10, rather than an exact case count.

The Healthcare System includes data about the capacity and current utilization of emergency room beds, inpatient beds, ICU beds, and ventilators in hospitals throughout Arizona, but not by hospital. The website has received almost more hits daily than ADHS’ regular site receives annually.

CAMPAIGN #YavapaiStrongerTogether

A collaborative campaign launched through the Yavapai Justice and Mental Health Coalition is titled “Yavapai Stronger Together.” The message mental health providers and agencies want to share with law enforcement, treatment providers, government officials, school leaders and families is that there are a variety of resources available.
