Brattleboro and VT COVID-19 Regional Dashboard Summary – September 2023

Here’s the September 2023 dashboard summary. We continue semi-regular COVID-19 dashboard numbers from the Vermont Department of Health, and MA and NH counties that surround Brattleboro, as long as they continue providing them.  Scroll down the new comments for the latest.

VT and MA seem to be doing weekly updates, near the end of the week. Variant updates and NH updates are every two weeks now.

Note that MA stats are the only dashboard that has remained steady and unchanged.  Most reliable of the three, in my humble opinion.

Here are links to the full list of dashboard summaries: August,  July,  June,   May,  April,  MarchFebruary,  January 2023,  December,  November,  OctoberSeptemberAugust,  July,  June,  May,  April,  March,  February,  January 2022,  December,  NovemberOctober,  September, AugustJulyJuneMayAprilMarchFebruaryJanuary 2021, December,  November,  OctoberSeptemberAugustJuly,  JuneMay, and April 2020.  38 months!

    Report Timeframe: August 20 to August 26, 2023
    Statewide hospitalization levels: Low. New COVID-19 admissions are below 10 per 100,000 Vermonters per day.
    • New hospital admissions of patients with COVID-19, last 7 days: 4.33 per 100K o 27 total new admissions with COVID-19
    The number of reportable COVID-19 cases is still available in this report, below. Laboratory- confirmed and diagnosed COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 outbreaks must still be reported to the Vermont Department of Health

The number is the daily average of the previous seven days; for example, the value for May 28 is the daily average for the days of May 21 through May 27.
    The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE) reflects all visits from participating emergency departments1, to identify visits for COVID- Like Illness (CLI).
