State releases COVID-19 positive cases by ZIP code, deaths by county1 min read

Beginning Sunday, April 12, the Arizona Department of Health Services will now provide information on location by ZIP codes of patients with confirmed diagnoses of the COVID-19 coronavirus and will also start listing race and ethnic information about the patients.

Deaths will be recorded by age and gender — but not necessarily with the same geographic precision. See those numbers HERE https://www.azdhs.gov/

ZIP codes with fewer than 10 cases will not be included. Counties with fewer than 3 deaths will not be included. See the interactive map HERE. 

Gov. Doug Ducey said his order earlier this week also requires reporting of the number of ventilators in use and how much personal protection equipment — masks, gowns and gloves — is being used each day, along with current inventories.

ADHS’ site will include the number of hospital beds in use for COVID-19 treatment, hospital and ICU beds available, and the number of hospitalizations and visits to Emergency Department for treatment of the virus.

The data will be available on a statewide basis only.
