The Grey Bruce Health Unit has been working to automate the data currently reported in the daily Situation Report. This change will take effect on January 25, 2021. This will result in a shift to align with the data in the provincial CCM (Case and Contact Management) software used by Health Units in Ontario for case and contact management. Grey Bruce Health Unit data reports began in March 2020, the provincial CCM reports did not begin until late summer 2020.
Our daily situation report will have a slightly different look to reflect the changes in the definition of cases and other metrics currently reported. There are changes of note. The report will now cover the 24-hour period from midnight to midnight of the previous day and reflect case totals up to that point. The total number of cases no longer includes cases transferred to other health units. The number of health care workers will include health care workers who live in Grey Bruce but work in other jurisdictions; previously, only health care workers who work in Grey Bruce were being reported. Please see the attached FAQ and table for a full explanation to the definitions.
The current municipal table that shows total, active, probable and recovered cases will also be changed. Instead of a numerical table, a new bar graphic presentation will be used to provide information by county and First Nations.
The new and the historical reports will continue to be viewable on the Grey Bruce Health Unit’s statistical page. The daily report will continue to be shared on our homepage and through direct communication to stakeholders.
