New Data Shows 82% COVID-19 Deaths Related to Long-Term Care

NH DHHS Launches New COVID-19 Dashboard to Help Public Track Impact of Coronavirus in NH

Concord, NH – The NH Department of Health and Human Services has launched a new COVID-19 Dashboard to help residents and stakeholders track the impact of the coronavirus on our communities.

This is the first time all of the data has been pulled together in this manner for daily release.

As seen above, 195 of the 238 deaths or 82 percent were associated with long-term care facilities.

The COVID-19 Dashboard can be found on the DHHS COVID-19 website https://www.nh.gov/covid19/dashboard/summary.htm

The DHHS COVID-19 Dashboard will be updated daily to display data on COVID-19 cases, related hospitalizations and deaths, and additional demographic detail and county of residence.

“The COVID-19 Dashboard is a great opportunity to provide our residents with data about the COVID-19 emergency in New Hampshire,” said Health and Human Servives Commissioner Lori Shibinette. “It is easy to access and navigate, and the presentation of the data provides our residents with meaningful information about the spread of the virus in their communities. My gratitude to the public health and information services staff who created the Dashboard.”

The goal of the COVID-19 Dashboard project is to make COVID-19 data as easy to access as possible. Residents in all counties have had to make significant sacrifices due to the presence of the coronavirus. DHHS build the Dashboard to ensure our residents can quickly find out the most current information about the impact of COVID-19 in our communities and throughout New Hampshire.

The COVID-19 Dashboard will replace the COVID-19 Weekly Summary Report, so residents will have access to the weekly report’s data on a daily basis instead of weekly. The data can be viewed on all types of devices, including computer, tablet and smart phone.
