New County-Specific Data added to OSDH COVID-19 Dashboard
Oklahoma City, Okla. (May 7, 2020) – The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) announced today an upgrade to its COVID-19 data dashboard that now allows the public to view the historical number of active and recovered COVID-19 cases by county as well as the historical number of COVID-19 related deaths by county. This data set is now also available for download at coronavirus.health.ok.gov.
The new county data reflects the onset of the disease, including when a person starts experiencing symptoms or when a person tests positive for COVID-19. The data also offers Oklahomans an expanded historical view of the coronavirus’ impact in their communities.
“Our primary responsibility through this pandemic is to provide the most robust and accurate data possible to help public officials and Oklahomans make informed decisions impacting their health and safety,” Health Commissioner Gary Cox said. “We will continue to seek ways to expand the data we provide while learning and gaining valuable new insights as the situation develops.”
