CSD COVID Dashboard Updated Friday, January 14, 2022:
Please be advised that the number of cases is based upon the cases known by CSD. Our health staff continues to work overtime following up on cases. Additionally, the health department has informed us that due to the sheer volume of cases being reported by various school districts as well as the reports they are receiving from the various labs around Bucks County, for the time being, they are only able to provide information from the tests that are conducted at the three testing sites. Once they get caught up and over this current hump, they will resume reporting all the cases that we receive from across the county.
Because information is provided by the county and state, the dashboard will be updated on the Friday of each week when data is available.
Incidence rate (per 100,000 residents): (Number of new confirmed cases in the most recent 7-day period/2019 county population) x 100,000
PCR Percent Positivity: The number of persons who tested positive by PCR during the most recent 7-day period / the number of persons who were tested by PCR using the most recent 7-day period, determined by date of report to the Department and expressed as a percent. Tests with a collection date of more than 14 days prior to report date are excluded from this calculation. Persons who had been tested previously are included. Since many people are routinely retested as part of universal testing programs repeatedly test negative, the percent positivity is lower than what would be calculated if one used the number of new cases and the number of people tested for the first time in the most recent 7-day period.
Level of Community Transmission: The level of community transmission is provided weekly by DOH and PDE with a community rating of low, moderate, or substantial. The level of community transmission is based on the number of cases in the past seven days per 100,000 residents and the number of positive tests in the past seven days.
