WCPS Launches New COVID-19 Dashboard

Posted on 10/11/2021

As a part of Worcester County Public Schools’ continued efforts to be transparent with our families and the Worcester County community, a new COVID-19 dashboard has been established. The dashboard is integrated into the Responsible Return 2.0 hub here on our website. 

The new COVID-19 dashboard now provides weekly data on the number of new COVID-19 cases both countywide and in each of our schools. In a marked improvement from the School Status webpage previously provided with the original Responsible Return plan, the new tool now shows whether a school has been identified by the Maryland Department of Health as having a cohort/classroom outbreak or a schoolwide outbreak as well as any closure information. 

To make the information clear for viewers, a key is available with descriptions of the color levels as well as explanations of what constitutes an outbreak as well as direct links to resources from the Maryland Department of Health.
