As of yesterday, Southwestern Public Health has changed how they are reporting Covid-19 cases in Oxford and Elgin counties and the city of St. Thomas. According to their website, “we will no longer post the status of each individual case. Instead our posting structure will align with that of the provincial government. Local and provincial case counts will be updated by 10:30 am each day. The dashboard also now includes a breakdown by municipality.” The “dashboard” is a collection of specific topics you can access by clicking on the corresponding box. Below are some examples, first the “Summary”…

…and the Local Epidemic Curve (Cumulative Cases)…

…Age and Gender Distribution (I find it interestingthe gender distribution is equal among males and females)…

…and the Distribution by Municipality…

Both Oxford County Public Health and the Town of Tillsonburg websites recommend the Southwestern Public Health website for information. FYI, Southwestern Public Health hosts a Facebook Live session every Friday at 1pm to provide updates and answer your questions. And here’s the link to their website:

Stay safe, stay apart…and wash your hands, OFTEN!!!
