(ABC 6 News) - With the pandemic slowing down worldwide, the Centers for Disease Control is not collecting as much data as it once was, and experts think that could be a problem.
Most states, including Minnesota and Iowa, have dashboards online where we can find all kinds of information and numbers related to Covid - whether it s vaccinations or cases.
Recently, both Minnesota and Iowa stopped updating those dashboards every day, but that doesn t mean they ve stopped collecting the data. We haven t lost any information, it s just we re being more thoughtful about how we invest our resources and how often we put it out to the public, MDH s director of infectious disease, Kris Ehresmann, said.
While Minnesota continues to be a top performer in vaccination rates Olmsted County remains in the top two counties across the state with Rochester doing even better.
