LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UATV) — the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement launched a new section on its COVID-19 in Arkansas website Friday.
The new webpage breaks down state COVID-19 data by region.
The ACHI uses the state’s seven hospital regions designated by the Arkansas Department of Health to organize information.
“By publishing COVID-19 data at the regional as well as local level, we hope to provide local decision-makers with additional information about the impact of this infectious disease in their communities,” said ACHI President and CEO Dr. Joe Thompson.
The regional-level information includes new known infections per 10,000 residents over a 14-day period; active cases among staff, students, and teachers at K-12 schools; new hospitalizations over a seven-day period; and cumulative deaths.
