Dutchess County Launches Coronavirus Data Dashboard

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro announced today a new COVID-19 Data Dashboard is now available on Dutchess County’s website with multiple data points including current positive COVID-19 case confirmations, mapped by municipality. The dashboard also includes data on testing, hospitalizations, deaths and recoveries, as well as call volume.

The dashboard can be accessed here.

County Executive Molinaro said, with testing substantially expanded in Dutchess County, they wanted to have quantitative, reliable data presented in a way that is clear and easy-to-access for the public.

"This localized data helps our public health and emergency response personnel, municipal partners, businesses, and residents fully understand the scope of this virus’ growing impact on our community,” he said.

Molinaro said the data demonstrates that every single community has been impacted by coronavirus. However, what is presented are only confirmed cases. He said there are many more individuals who are asymptomatic or who have mild symptoms who have not been confirmed.

“It is critical to realize that every person in Dutchess remains at risk of exposure and every person must make it their personal responsibility to do their part to ensure they are not adding to these numbers," he said, "so while we know it is hard, stay the course – stay home, stay safe and stop the spread.”

The dashboard provides case count information including a total cumulative confirmed case count since Dutchess County’s first case was reported March 13. Active case numbers are also available reflecting cases currently being monitored and not yet considered “recovered.” Current case numbers are highlighted, with tabs for historical graphs provided. Active cases are mapped by city, town and village, with total cases for each municipality displayed.

The dashboard also lists information regarding hospitalizations, deaths and recoveries. While the hospital data reflects the total number of individuals currently hospitalized in Dutchess County with a confirmed case, they are not necessarily Dutchess County residents. The hospitals are MidHudson Regional Hospital, Vassar Brothers Medical Center and Northern Dutchess Hospital.

Fatality data reflects Dutchess County resident deaths caused by or related to COVID-19. Recovery data reflects Dutchess County residents who had a confirmed case of COVID-19 who are no longer symptomatic and are no longer being monitored by the Department of Behavioral & Community Health (DBCH).

The dashboard will also display the number of tests administered for Dutchess County residents.

The call data includes call history into Dutchess County’s Coronavirus Hotline at 845-486-3555.

Dutchess County 9-1-1 call center data reflects all calls relating to the new coronavirus.

The COVID-19 Data Dashboard will be updated daily, however there may be delays in updates for particular data sets as information is received and verified.
