COVID Testing and Case Data in Huron and Perth 

In addition to confirmed cases listed below, please know that there is local spread of the COVID-19 virus across Huron and Perth as well as the rest of Ontario. We must all act as if we could come into contact with COVID-19 anywhere in our community and as if we could pass COVID-19 on unknowingly.

 About this data
  • This is not a real-time tool but is meant to keep the community informed on trends we are seeing. We report positive cases, and demographic trends of positive cases such as age, gender and municipality.
  • The confirmed positive count is a cumulative total, and includes any resolved cases or fatalities. Some cases may be reassigned geographic areas as we receive more information.
  • We are aware that there have been some shipment errors between collection and the lab in a very small number of swabs and those tests are not included in these results. 
  • We also report the province's estimate of the total number of tests taken in Huron and Perth counties. This number will include repeat tests on the same individual.

  • Data in the dashboard are updated mid-afternoon Monday to Friday
  • Data are current as of 10:00 a.m. the same day

COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage

 About the data
  • This is not a real-time tool but is meant to keep the community informed on vaccine administration and coverage. 
  • The number of people reported as vaccinated may vary due to:
    • Reassignment of postal code to a Public Health Unit
    • The source of data used in a table (e.g., number of vaccines administered in Huron and Perth, or Huron and Perth County Residents only)
    • Data not being available, e.g., age and gender
    • Data cleaning (reviewing and correcting any incorrect/duplicate information) locally and at the provincial level.
    • Pharmacy reporting. Pharmacies receive vaccine supply directly from the Province and are responsible for their own data.
  • The Ontario Government makes vaccination data available to HPPH. The Government uses an individual’s postal code to assign them to their Public Health Unit (PHU). Some records may have been assigned incorrectly to one of our surrounding PHUs. Similarly, residents from other PHUs might have been incorrectly assigned to HPPH.
  • The health card address is used to assign individuals to a PHU. If a person has moved or studies in a different PHU. this person is assigned to the PHU of their health card address.

  • Differences between HPPH Vaccination Dashboard and other websites could be due to differences in processing the data by:

    • Using a different denominator
    • Including only records where the Health Unit is noted
    • Using date of birth to determine age at the time of vaccination versus year of birth

Data Sources:

  • COVID-19 immunization data were extracted from IntelliHEALTH based on what is entered into the Ontario Ministry of Health’s COVaxON application
  • ICES Report: HPPH Population estimates: Registered Persons Database, updated Dec 31, 2020. Received: March 5, 2021.
 How often data is updated 
 Data are updated on weekdays (Monday-Friday) and are current as of the previous day.
