Detailed maps of COVID-19 cases will help track, slow spread, experts say


The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit released more detailed information Friday on where COVID-19 cases are located in the community following requests from the public. The maps are colour-coded and reflect the number of positive COVID-19 cases per thousand population. It comes after, political leaders across Windsor-Essex on Tuesday, said they were asking the health unit for more specific data. This map shows the geographical distribution of COVID-19 cases, but only shows where those individuals who tested positive for the disease live and not where they contracted the virus. Infection control epidemiologist Colin Furness says 'more transparency is better than less' about the maps put out by the health unit.
