\title{Weekly Surveillance Summary of U.S. COVID-19 Activity}
|
|
\description{
|
|
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control provides weekly summary and
|
|
interpretation of key indicators that have been adapted to track the COVID-19
|
|
pandemic in the United States. Tools are provided to retrive data from both
|
|
COVIDView
|
|
(\url{https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html})
|
|
and COVID-NET (\url{https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_3.html}).

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Associated Hospitalization
|
|
Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) conducts population-based surveillance for
|
|
laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in children
|
|
(persons younger than 18 years) and adults. The current network covers nearly
|
|
100 counties in the 10 Emerging Infections Program (EIP) states (CA, CO, CT,
|
|
GA, MD, MN, NM, NY, OR, and TN) and four additional states through the
|
|
Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Project (IA, MI, OH, and UT). The
|
|
network represents approximately 10\% of US population (~32 million people).
|
|
|
|
Cases are identified by reviewing hospital, laboratory, and admission
|
|
databases and infection control logs for patients hospitalized with a
|
|
documented positive SARS-CoV-2 test.
|
|
|
|
Data gathered are used to estimate age-specific hospitalization rates on a
|
|
weekly basis and describe characteristics of persons hospitalized with
|
|
COVID-19. Laboratory confirmation is dependent on clinician-ordered
|
|
SARS-CoV-2 testing. Therefore, the rates provided are likely to be
|
|
underestimated as COVID-19-associated hospitalizations can be missed due to
|
|
test availability and provider or facility testing practices.
|
|
|
|
COVID-NET hospitalization data are preliminary and subject to change as more
|
|
data become available. Please use the following citation when referencing
|
|
these data: “COVID-NET: COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance
|
|
Network, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. WEBSITE. Accessed on
