DuPage introduces COVID-19 case map

The DuPage County Health Department on Monday announced a new, interactive COVID-19 case map.

The dashboard links data from the health department into the GIS Data Systems from the county to provide a greater level of understanding into how the pandemic is unfolding across communities.

The information will be updated daily to provide DuPage County residents information about the current spread of COVID-19 and the need for healthy distancing and prevention steps to slow the spread of disease. Information around age range, sex as well as community of residence of the cases identified through testing will be included.

Since testing resources are limited to the most severe cases and at-risk populations, this does not reflect total disease presence in our communities. As testing becomes more available, this information will become more reflective of the actual disease activity in the community.
