Active Case Map Added to Dashboard

New City, NY, - County Executive Ed Day announced the addition of an Active Case Map to the County’s COVID-19 Map Dashboard. The new Map will show active cases based on zip code which consist of confirmed positive results dated within the last two weeks that have been reported to the Rockland County Department of Health. The Active Case Map will be updated during the week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

“Since the pandemic began, we have worked diligently to keep Rockland residents informed of our local situation,” said County Executive Day. “The Active Case Map will show residents where new cases are and should serve as a reminder that we must remain vigilant and learn to live with this disease. Please continue to take the commonsense precautions which have helped us get to where we are today.”

In addition to the new map, the Rockland County Planning Department has developed a Hub site for all the County’s Dashboards. The Hub site provides all of the information regarding the situation locally in one easily accessible place. Residents are advised to read the Information Section at the bottom left corner of the Map Dashboard for explanations related to the data.

There are currently 272 Active Cases in Rockland County with six people currently hospitalized and confirmed to have COVID-19.

“In April we were one of the worst hit counties in the country with nearly 400 people hospitalized for this disease and today, we have substantially improved. I ask all our residents to please help us keep it that way by social distancing, wearing a mask when you’re unable to stay 6 feet away from others and by washing your hands. These habits have seemingly been effective so let’s keep our community safe and continue to head in the right direction,” said County Executive Day.
