The past three years have been highly challenging in many ways, but together we have made significant progress to reduce the impact COVID-19 has on the health of people and our communities.ĬDC will continue to report and monitor valuable data, like genomic surveillance wastewater surveillance vaccination coverage, safety, and effectiveness and hospital-related outcomes, from sentinel surveillance platforms like COVID-NET. The United States has mobilized and sustained a historic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please see two new MMWR reports published May 5, 2023- COVID-19 Surveillance After Expiration of the Public Health Emergency Declaration and Correlations and Timeliness of COVID-19 Surveillance Data Sources and Indicators-for more details about the changes.

These are the most notable changes to COVID Data Tracker: Several pages have also been retired, but COVID Data Tracker has a page with links to archived data and visualizations. The homepage has a new look, and there are also new landing pages for hospitalizations, emergency department (ED) visits, and death data, as well as visualizations of trends and maps.

The latest updates to CDC’s COVID Data Tracker reflect these changes. Some surveillance metrics will remain the same, but some will change in terms of reporting frequency, data sources, or availability. This doesn’t mean that COVID-19 is over, but the end of the PHE did initiate a cascade of updates to COVID-19 data collection, reporting, and surveillance. Yesterday, May 11, 2023, marked the end of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) declaration. This is the 97th and final issue of the COVID Data Tracker Weekly Review.
