Brookfield Schools Intro New COVID-19 Tracker Online Dashboard

BROOKFIELD, CT — The school district has developed a new online tool to assist residents in tracking school based COVID-19 positive cases.

The new dashboard displays the number of staff and students currently in quarantine, and is updated weekly.

The dashboard breaks down the total number of community members in quarantine by school, and by the reason for their quarantine, whether they have tested positive for the virus or have been in contact with someone who has.

The current update is from Nov. 19:

"The leading COVID health indicator continues to trend upward from 22.3 cases per 100,000 last week to a rate of 28.1 cases per 100,000 and the secondary indicator of positivity rate has risen from 4.8% to 5.9%," Superintendent John Barile said. "Both of these indicators are generated from the 14 day period from November 1st - November 14th."

Brookfield, and around 96 percent of Connecticut's towns, are currently in the red zone, meaning that 15 or more cases per 100,000 residents over the past two weeks are coronavirus positive.
