Data plays a pivotal role in understanding the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. By tracking infection rates, deaths, and vaccination numbers, we gain insights into the effectiveness of public health measures and the impact they have on our communities. Timely access to this data empowers individuals to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being, enabling us to adopt precautionary measures or seek medical assistance promptly. 

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States faced a significant challenge in tracking and sharing accurate information regarding infections, deaths, and vaccinations. However, with the expiration of the COVID-19 emergency declaration, the responsibility of the U.S. government to maintain and share COVID-related data with the public has come to an end. However, there are still reliable sources, such as NBC News, that continue to provide up-to-date data through their own dashboards so you can remain up-to-date on COVID in your community and beyond.
