BROOKLINE, MA — The Brookline Department of Public Health and Human Services has launched a new COVID-19 data portal and information hub, according to Health Commissioner Sigalle Reiss.

The new interactive online dashboard enables residents to access cumulative and weekly COVID-19 data, including cases, testing, and vaccination rates. Each of these key indicators is also broken down along demographic lines, giving residents a better understanding of how the pandemic is impacting people of different age groups and races.

“Local COVID-19 data has been the cornerstone to the department's COVID-19 response," Reiss said in a statement. "We are excited to launch our dynamic dashboard that allows residents to see Brookline’s COVID-19 data and trends over the course of the whole pandemic, and with an emphasis on recent data and metrics."

The interactive data features empower users to sort by demographic factors, as well as expand or narrow their view of the town's case data from the beginning of the pandemic to just recently, and examine the impact the coronavirus has had on specific cohorts over time.
