Colorado Launches Unified COVID-19 Tracking Dashboard

As winter approaches, Colorado has launched a new integrated dashboard by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to track COVID-19, influenza, and RSV cases, providing real-time data on hospital admissions and wastewater testing results. This initiative aims to enhance public access to health information and improve health literacy among residents. Meanwhile, a COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital in Ontario, prompting isolation of affected patients and visitor restrictions. The CDC anticipates an uptick in COVID-19 and RSV cases during the holiday season due to increased indoor gatherings, with hospitalizations expected to rise. Furthermore, wastewater testing across several U.S. states has revealed high levels of SARS-CoV-2, serving as an early warning system for viral activity in communities. In La Crosse County, Wisconsin, the first confirmed COVID-19 cases have been reported, with health officials advising the public on preventive measures and the importance of monitoring symptoms.
