Residents looking for daily local updates on COVID-19 will no longer be able to use the health department’s website. Lincoln Trail District health officials announced yesterday that they would no longer be updating their COVID-19 dashboard. Instead, officials are directing residents to the state’s dashboard, which they say is similar in nature to theirs.
Public Information Officer Terrie Burgan says the process of updating is very labor intensive, and that a strain on the health department’s resources is one of the reasons for the discontinuation.
