Here’s the April 2024 dashboard summary. We continue semi-regular COVID-19 dashboard numbers from the Vermont Department of Health, and MA and NH counties that surround Brattleboro, as long as they continue providing them. Scroll down the new comments for the latest.
VT, NH and MA do weekly updates, near the end of the week, so we update on Fridays usually. All three have changed their dashboards since the start, so it is now tough to easily compare how things have changed. Variant updates are every two weeks.
Here are links to the full list of dashboard summaries:

Report Timeframe: March 24 to March 30, 2024
Statewide hospitalization levels: Low. New COVID-19 admissions are below 10 per 100,000 Vermonters per day.
New hospital admissions of patients with COVID-19, last 7 days: 1.24 per 100K o 8 total new admissions with COVID-19.
The hospitalizations dataset contains day-level data reported from all Vermont hospitals each Tuesday. Reported numbers are subject to correction.
The number of reportable COVID-19 cases is still available in this report, below. Laboratory- confirmed and diagnosed COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 outbreaks must still be reported to the Vermont Department of Health
The seven-day rolling average of hospital patients was between one and three during the most recent week. The number is the daily average of the previous seven days; for example, the value for May 28 is the daily average for the days of May 21 through May 27.
The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE) reflects all visits from participating emergency departments1, to identify visits for COVID- Like Illness (CLI). During this reporting period the proportion of emergency visits that included CLI continued to decline to less than 1.5%, lower than on the same dates in prior years.
JN.1 is the dominant circulating variant. (Sources: LabCorp, Quest, Helix, Health Department Whole Genome Sequencing program).
