2:37 p.m. | CDPHE to end daily COVID-19 case and death data reporting, will shift to weekly updates starting Wednesday
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) will stop posting daily COVID-19 case data updates and will instead show case trends on a weekly basis starting Wednesday, Nov. 2.
The decision by the CDPHE comes nearly a month after the CDC moved to the same, and comes as more transmissible variants start to gain ground before an expected surge in cases in the fall and winter.
In a news release Monday, CDPHE officials said they recommended moving to weekly updates as "data analysts recommend looking at weekly data for the most accurate representation of COVID-19 in Colorado communities."
"CDPHE’s epidemiologists continue to monitor trends in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and variants. In addition to presenting a more accurate picture of COVID-19 in Colorado, presenting weekly visualizations of CDPHE data will allow for more time for epidemiologists and data managers to review the data, detect unexpected data issues, and correct them before the data is presented on the dashboard. Data updates for other similar pathogens, like influenza, occur weekly."
The CDPHE will also be revamping its data dashboard, which will incorporate COVID-19 vaccine data which is currently under a separate page, and will also include data on other respiratory viruses like influenza and RSV.
