Dupage County Health Department Launches New Coronavrirus Case Map

Press release from the Village of Glen Ellyn:

Posted on: March 30, 2020

The DuPage County Health Department has launched a new, interactive COVID-19 case map. The dashboard links data from the DuPage County Health Department into the GIS Data Systems from DuPage County to provide a greater level of understanding into how the coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, pandemic is unfolding across our communities.

The information on the COVID-19 Dashboard will be updated daily to provide DuPage County residents information about the current spread of COVID-19 and 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.

In DuPage County, as we have seen around the world, COVID-19 is affecting people of all ages and the number of cases is expected to continue growing, which means it’s important that we all help prevent the spread of this virus.
