Two state gov't websites in Georgia stopped posting updates on Covid cases in prisons and long-term care facilities. Florida now reports Covid cases/hospitalizations/deaths weekly, instead of daily. Data has been disappearing in other states as well.
A month ago, the Georgia agency that runs state prisons stopped giving public updates on the number of new Covid cases among inmates and staff members. The Department of Corrections, in explaining this decision, cited its successful vaccination rates and “a declining number of Covid-19 cases among staff and inmates.”
“We will make a determination whether to begin reposting the daily Covid dashboard over the next few weeks, if the current statewide surge is sustained,” Heath said. “Residents and families cannot easily find this information,” said Melanie McNeil, the state’s long-term care ombudsman. “It used to be easily accessible.”
Florida had issued daily reports on cases, deaths and hospitalizations until the rate of positive test results dropped in June. Even when caseloads soared in July and August, the state stuck with weekly reporting.
