COLUMBUS, Ind. – The COVID-19 Community Task Force is scaling back its data reporting and media updates through the website and social media. The reason cited was the decrease in positivity and hospitalization rate over the last several weeks. All website data will be preserved, but reporting methods and frequency are changing.
The Task Force has chosen to move to a reporting schedule that reflects updates based on the COVID-19 community levels as identified by the CDC. When Bartholomew County is in “green,” quarterly updates will be provided, in “yellow,” monthly, and when “orange/red,” updates would resume weekly or twice weekly.
The Task Force website will stay “live” and continue to provide the community resource on testing, vaccine, and other relevant information.
