Epicurve Data

The Epicurve graph available  (thru 1/17/2021)  will allow you to see how the daily number of cases have gone up and down since the first case was identified in March.  You can open the Epicurve Data here.  EpiCurve data will be posted each Monday according to the template which collects and runs the numbers.

In order to better illustrate areas of highest positive rates, the legend has again been revised to allow for higher cases counts in each color grouping. The 1/19/2021 map of Cumulative Cases of COVID-19 in Jackson County Townships is posted.  At times, street addresses are not always available which affect the ability to map all data. If this occurs, a difference between posted cases totals and mapped cases may be seen.  You can download a pdf version of the map for printing.
