Coronavirus NC:North Carolina's COVID-19 data impressive,but still incomplete compared to other states-ABC I Raleigh-Durham <br /> to ease restrictions and reignite the economy. It should <br /> be little surprise, then, that an ABC11 I-Team <br /> investigation finds variances in the information states <br /> are either unable or unwilling to share regarding the <br /> novel coronavirus. <br /> "We have been frustrated that we haven't seen as much <br /> robust and deep data when it comes to a county-by- <br /> county,basis," Moore said. "Getting that information <br /> out there I think is very, very helpful because there is a <br /> lot of fear out there, there is a lot of uncertainty about <br /> what this means." <br /> COVID-19 demographic information, cases by zip <br /> codes and names of congregate care facilities have <br /> been the top requests sought by states across the <br /> country. <br /> CORONAVIRUS MAP: Tracking COVID-ig <br /> across North Carolina <br /> In recent weeks, North Carolina has started releasing <br /> zip code data, naming affected nursing homes and <br /> releasing statistics on recovered cases. The Tar Heel <br /> State, however, still lags behind in transparency for <br /> some data, including cumulative hospitalization <br /> numbers, testing data by county, demographic of cases <br /> at the county level, the number of pending tests and <br /> the name of meat-processing plants with COVID-19 <br /> outbreaks. <br /> Virginia, by contrast, breaks down hospitalizations by <br /> race and by zip code and also tracks outbreaks <br /> connected to educational settings. Georgia, meanwhile, <br /> tracks correctional facility cases by staff versus inmates <br /> and also reports hospitalizations at the county level. <br /> https://abcI I.com/health/nc-lawmakers-push-for-more-covid-I9-data-from-dhhs/6176342/[5/13/20, 1:03:42 PM] <br />
