Key changes in COVID-19 data reporting that everyone should be aware of
||| FROM SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS |||
As of December 1, 2022, Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has decommissioned the Washington State Coronavirus Response (COVID-19) website coronavirus.wa.gov. As of that date, site visitors will be redirected to the DOH COVID-19 landing page. This streamlining of online resources reflects the end of the COVID-19 emergency order and a decrease in web traffic on the coronavirus.wa.gov website.
Additionally, we at San Juan County (SJC) Health and Community Services will continue to update our COVID-19 Data Dashboard through the end of December 2022. The COVID-19 SJC Data Dashboard tool will be retired starting January 1, 2023. SJC Health and Community Services remains committed to supporting the community in San Juan County and urges everyone to stay up to date on their COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
