New COVID-19 County Data Dashboard for Western MA
August 26, 2020
The pandemic has made it difficult to make decisions about returning to school, visiting loved ones, traveling within the state, and more. We've created a COVID-19 County Data Dashboard for Western MA in hopes that this will help guide some of the decisions people may be grappling with. To create the Dashboard, we used publicly available COVID-19 data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. We've attempted to cull out was most useful to people in their decision-making and present it in what we hope is a compelling and user-friendly format.
We aim to update our dashboard weekly on Thursday mornings. Our dashboard will evolve based on the changing availability of data as well as your feedback.
