Variant and COVID-19 Daily Data Update dashboards updated, Aug. 5

Starting Wednesday, OHA’s COVID-19 Daily Data Update dashboard and Variants dashboard will include new charts showing the proportion of variants circulating in Oregon over time. The Daily Data Update dashboard will now include the number of confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents in the previous seven days statewide and for each county. The new charts on the Variants dashboard will show the proportion of variants circulating in Oregon over the last six weeks and all time from data reported to GISAID. Variants of concern (VOC) and variants of interest (VOI) will be reported individually, while all other variants will be grouped together. The six-week chart will also be added to the COVID-19 Daily Data Update dashboard. The overall state counts of VOCs will be posted on the COVID-19 Daily Data Update dashboard. The Variants dashboard will show the VOC and VOI state and Hospital Preparedness Partner Region counts. Dates are based on the specimen collection date. For all sequencing data, there is a lag between when the sample was collected and when the data are reported. This lag means that the most recent three weeks of data will be updated over time and represent estimates.
The Variants dashboard is updated on Wednesdays with data reported through the previous Saturday. The cases per 100,000 residents in the previous seven days will be updated Monday through Friday.
