COVID-NET Interactive Dashboard

COVID-NET Interactive Dashboard
Updated Oct. 12, 2023
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET)

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) conducts active, population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in children younger than 18 years of age and adults. The network currently includes 98 counties in 13 states that participate in the Emerging Infections Program (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee) or the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Program (Michigan, Ohio, and Utah). COVID-NET covers approximately 10% of the U.S. population, or around 32 million people.

The rates presented on the COVID-NET interactive dashboard can be used to follow trends and comparisons of COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in different demographic groups and over time.

COVID-NET hospitalization data are preliminary and subject to change as more data become available. All data are subject to reporting lags that might increase around holidays or during periods of increased hospital utilization. As new data are received each week, previous case counts and rates are updated accordingly.

1) Select a topic of interest
To use the COVID-NET interactive dashboard, select a topic to see specific data trends. Topics include rates by age group, sex, or race and ethnicity as well as clinical characteristics, including underlying medical conditions and intensive care unit admission. Rates can be viewed by week or cumulative. Clinical characteristics can be viewed by month, quarter, or surveillance season.

2) Select a filter of interest
Topics of interest can be filtered by age group, sex, and race and ethnicity. Filters vary by topic, as not all topics have filters available.

3) Select different ways to view the data
The data can be displayed in a graph or as a table. Right click anywhere in the graph for a tabular view. Hovering your mouse over or selecting a data point or bar in the graph will display detailed information. Some graphs allow you to hide or show data from the legend for detailed analysis.
