The source of the virus is from a known positive case is marked "YES," and exposures that cannot be traced directly to a known positive case is marked "NO". These unknown (No) source suggests community spread. Many cases from one or more known sources may suggest a cluster. Data reporting reflects the date the testing results were received.

Demographics:
Breakdown of Unique Positive Cases total in Tompkins County
Updated demographic information was provided to the Tompkins County Legislature monthly, as part of the County COVID Response Timeline. Click the images below to open a larger image in a new tab. For the complete set, exerpted from the 12/15/20 Timeline, click here.
Note about why the total cases number reported in these graphs does not match the total case number reported daily:
The Health Department is now pulling its data from New York State database systems. Data used here to report case demographics has been taken from NYS's CommCare system. Historic CommCare data is only available for July 1, 2020 to the present. This represents 88% of Tompkins County cases. Data posted daily is taken from the Electronic Clinical Laboratory Report System (ECLRS).
