Coronavirus NC:North Carolina's COVID-19 data impressive,but still incomplete compared to other states-ABC11 Raleigh-Durham <br /> "Each state has its own data infrastructure which <br /> includes both state as well as local data and pre- <br /> existing surveillance systems," a spokesperson for <br /> NCDHHS said. "NCDHHS is also posting data which <br /> many of our neighboring states aren't posting, <br /> including information about current PPE, proportion <br /> of North Carolinians who have a risk factor for a <br /> serious illness from COVID by age and race/ethnicity, <br /> and COVID cases and deaths with underlying health <br /> conditions by age." <br /> While the state does update its dashboard daily, <br /> individual county health departments are also <br /> releasing county-specific information every day and <br /> meeting different standards of transparency. <br /> Counties like Cumberland, Orange and Johnston do <br /> report demographics of their reported cases--localized <br /> data the state does not report--but there isn't any <br /> consistency or law that mandates county health <br /> departments disclose this information and many don't. <br /> ABCii filed official public information requests with <br /> Wake and Durham counties for racial data on <br /> COVID-19 cases, but the counties have yet to respond. <br /> RELATED: The Racial Divide: How minorities <br /> are disproportionately affected by the COVID- <br /> i9 pandemic in NC <br /> Lenoir, Sampson and Cherokee counties, moreover, <br /> include how many total residents have been tested in <br /> their daily press releases, but Hoke and Lee counties <br /> said to find the number you would need to contact <br /> every test provider since private providers only are <br /> required to report positive numbers to the local health <br /> department. <br /> https:HabcI I.com/health/nc-lawmakers-push-for-more-covid-I9-data-from-dhhs/6176342/[5/13/20, 1:03:42 PM] <br />
