Data Snapshot
Each week we plan to share a data snapshot that highlights a few key data points from the week.
We are also now putting out a blog post each Thursday titled "Data Notes," which explains the trends and themes we're seeing. To get notification when a new blog is posted, subscribe on this page. You can find past blog posts there as well.

Forward Dane Metrics
Last updated February 25, 2021; Data from February 8 through February 21. Data are updated weekly on Thursdays. See the weekly snapshot (linked above) for details on measures below.
| Measure | Dane County Status |
|---|---|
| Percent Positive Tests Below a threshold of 5% for positive tests as a percent of total tests averaged across most recent 14 day period |
 |
| Cases per Day Below a low incidence threshold of 4 cases per day for Dane County averaged over most recent 14 day period |
 |
| Tests Conducted Testing supplies and staff facilitate adequate testing for disease control and surveillance with goal of over 800 tests per day in most recent 14 day period |
|
| Testing for Healthcare Workers Robust testing in place for health care workers |
This metric removed due to changes in reporting from health systems. For hospitalization and critical staffing shortages data, see the Snapshot. |
| Patients Treated without Crisis Care Treat all patients without crisis care, including facility use, staffing, and critical supply |
This metric removed due to changes in reporting from health systems. For hospitalization and critical staffing shortages data, see the Snapshot. |
| Healthcare Workers with COVID-19 Stable or decreasing numbers of infected healthcare workers in most recent 14 day period |
|
| Lab Reporting Timeliness & Contact Tracing All positive cases can be reported and contacted quickly to facilitate rapid isolation and quarantine for disease control in most recent 14 day period |
 |
| Community Spread Proportion of contacted COVID-19 cases who don't know where they could have gotten COVID-19 in most recent 14 day period |
|
| COVID-like Symptoms Stable or decrease of COVID-like syndromic cases reported within most recent 14 day period |

Process Measures
In addition to the publicly facing nine metrics, we’ll be monitoring process measures as well to help us understand where there may be a gap in the system. These process measures look at transmission dynamics (the “R” value of our epidemic), lab result reporting timeliness, outbreak monitoring within priority populations, capacity for supporting isolation/quarantine, and contact attempts of both cases and contacts.
Dane County COVID-19 Death Data
There are a few ways to examine COVID-19 deaths. This fact sheet explains the different calculations and shares data on deaths through August 18, 2020.
