Dutchess County Releases Map of Coronavirus Cases

Dutchess County joined other counties in the Hudson Valley and released a map of COVID-19 cases from the county as well as a coronavirus dashboard.

Late last week, Ulster County released a dashboard and map that shows how many confirmed cases are in each town. Orange County followed by sharing a map of originating cases by town in Orange County, as did Putnam County. 

On Tuesday, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro announced a new COVID-19 Data Dashboard is now available on Dutchess County’s website. The dashboard includes data on testing, hospitalizations, deaths and recoveries, as well as call volume and also lists the current positive COVID-19 case confirmations, mapped by the municipality.

“With testing substantially expanded here in Dutchess County, we have quantitative, reliable data presented in a way that is clear and easy-to-access for the public. This localized data helps our public health and emergency response personnel, municipal partners, businesses, and residents fully understand the scope of this virus’ growing impact on our community.” Molinaro said. "This data demonstrates that every single community has been impacted by coronavirus. However, these are only confirmed cases – there are many more individuals who are asymptomatic or who have mild symptoms who have not been confirmed,” continued Molinaro. “It is critical to realize that every person in Dutchess remains at risk of exposure and every person must make it their personal responsibility to do their part to ensure they are not adding to these numbers – so while we know it is hard, stay the course – stay home, stay safe and stop the spread.”

There are 396 confirmed cases in Dutchess County and three deaths, according to the dashboard. Nine residents have recovered and 56 are hospitalized.
