New Georgia COVID-19 data adds important local dimension to national tracking tool

The national health equity dashboard launched last June soon after the pandemic began in the United States to fill in the gaps about the interplay between health outcomes and underlying social determinants and other vulnerabilities, including underlying medical conditions.

Visitors to the Georgia Health Equity Dashboard can see, at a county-level, the demographic breakdown of COVID-19 cases and deaths by race, ethnicity, sex and age. They can also view a detailed county-level report with a map of cases by zip code and social determinants information such as poverty, access to health care, health insurance coverage, underlying health conditions and housing issues.
