11/2/2020 Explanation of Changes_1 Massachusetts Department of Public Health COVID-19 Dashboard- Monday, November 02, 2020 A NOTE ABOUT TODAY’S DASHBOARD Beginning today, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is posting a revised COVID-19 daily dashboard. This revised dashboard will continue to provide critical information for the public’s understanding of the current and cumulative impact of the pandemic in Massachusetts, reflecting the metrics that are most useful to track on a daily basis. The Commonwealth already produces one of the most comprehensive public data reports on COVID-19 in the nation and includes detailed municipal-level, college and university, contact tracing, long-term care facilities, and, most recently, cluster data. This revised dashboard will help the public more easily access the Commonwealth’s growing amount of COVID-19 information as the Departments prepares to launch an interactive digital dashboard early next year. A key new data point presented in the dashboard is “Case Growth by Age Group,” which will help contextualize the impact of COVID on different age ranges over time. The Commonwealth is currently seeing a larger proportion of cases in younger people compared to earlier in the pandemic. The dashboard now includes the average turnaround time for COVID-19 test results to be reported to the Department, so contact tracing can begin. The dashboard also now reports the impact of university testing to greater clarify how this testing impacts the Commonwealth’s overall positivity rate and case numbers. Today’s updated dashboard provides a more granular look into the daily positivity rate. Since August, the Commonwealth’s universities have been conducting at least 25,000 daily tests of students, faculty, and staff. While this testing has helped to control the spread of COVID on college campuses, it has also impacted the overall positivity rate. Starting today, the dashboard will include three positivity rates: the overall state positivity rate, the positivity rate on college campuses, and the statewide positivity rate excluding on-campus testing. Many existing data points, including testing, deaths, and hospitalization rates, have been reorganized to report on current numbers, trends over the past six weeks, and trends going back to March. 1 1/1 11/2/2020 Public Health Indicators Massachusetts Department of Public Health COVID-19 Dashboard- Monday, November 02, 2020 Dashboard of Public Health Indicators Total Cases By Age Group Testing and Cases from 10/17/20-10/30/20** Newly Reported Total New 7-Day Average Estimated Active Confirmed Cases Molecular Tests Positivity Cases 0-19 years 2,701 Reported 725 51,419 1.78% 16,561 20-29 years 2,566 Hospitalization 30-39 years 2,493 Total Confirmed Total Confirmed Average Age of COVID Patients in COVID Patients in Cases that were 40-49 years 2,057 Hospital ICU Hospitalized* 469 96 67 50-59 years 1,853 Deaths Turnaround Time 60-69 years 1,293 Newly Reported Average Age of 14-Day Average Turnaround (from Test Deaths among Deaths* Sample to Report to DPH)* 70-79 years Confirmed 606 9 81 2.1 80+ years 403 Note: For definitions, please see the Glossary at the end of this document in "Definitions and Disclaimers".
