COVID-19 Cases in Child Care Centers and Group Child Care Homes by Week - Archive

This dataset summarizes the number of cases among child care attendees and staff reported to the Department of Public Health (DPH).

Each week, licensed child care centers are required to report cases of COVID-19 among attendees and staff to the DPH and the local health department. There are 1,388 licensed child care centers and group child care homes in Connecticut that serve approximately 50,000 children.

Beginning the week of January 9th, reporting transitioned from individual case reporting to aggregate reporting of cases among attendees and staff. The form for collecting aggregate data from child care centers can be found here: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=-nyLEd2juUiwJjH_abtzi-XnLB2c4-RLhUuoE9uLWJJUNURSR09GNlBBWFVIMlFaQ1BGUzcxMFNDUy4u

Data are preliminary and, like other passive surveillance systems, under reporting occurs and the true incidence of disease is more than the number of cases reported. Data from previous weeks are updated as new data are received. Several weeks of data from the new reporting system will be needed to determine trends.

本数据集概述了向公共卫生部门（DPH）报告的儿童保育参与者及员工病例数量。每周，获许可的儿童保育中心均有义务向DPH及地方卫生部门报告COVID-19病例。康涅狄格州共有1,388家获许可的儿童保育中心和团体儿童保育机构，服务于约50,000名儿童。自1月9日当周起，病例报告方式由个体病例报告转变为对参与者及员工病例的汇总报告。收集儿童保育中心汇总数据的表格可在此处找到：https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=-nyLEd2juUiwJjH_abtzi-XnLB2c4-RLhUuoE9uLWJJUNURSR09GNlBBWFVIMlFaQ1BGUzcxMFNDUy4u。数据为初步数据，如同其他被动监测系统，存在报告不足现象，实际疾病发病率高于报告病例数。随着新数据的接收，前几周的数据将得到更新。为了确定趋势，需要收集新报告系统的数周数据。
