What is the COVID Data Tracker? The COVID-19 Data Tracker provides maps, charts, and other data about COVID-19. The tracker has a “Daily Update for the United States.” It shows numbers and trends for COVID-19 cases, deaths, people in the hospital, and vaccinations. It includes links to other pages about getting vaccinated, health equity, and high-risk groups. You can also check to see how your local community is doing. To use the tracker, scroll down to the banner that looks like this. Type in your county to check the COVID-19 levels in your community! |

Check COVID-19 Levels in Your Community Scroll down to the “COVID in Your Community” Section of the tracker. Enter the name of your County or State. The tracker will tell you about the spread of COVID-19 in your community. What are Community Levels? The tracker tells community levels of COVID-19 using colors. The colors will either be low (green), medium (yellow), or high (red). Levels are based on your community's: - New COVID-19 cases
- Hospital beds left
- New people in the hospital with COVID-19
Once I know my community level, how should I protect myself? Staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots is the best way to protect yourself and others! You should always get tested if you feel sick. You should also know your community levels and how to protect yourself: Low: If levels in your community are low, no other protections are needed. Medium: If levels in your community are medium, then you should - Ask your doctor if you are at high risk of getting very sick with COVID-19
- Ask your doctor if you should wear a mask indoors
- Ask your doctor if you should do anything else to protect yourself
High: If levels in your community are high, then you should - Wear a mask indoors in public places, even if you have been vaccinated
