Arizona new cases versus total cases

This graph shows a moving average of new cases compared to total cases in Arizona. It displays the rate at which new cases are appearing. When the graph moves downward, there is a reduction in new cases. When the graph moves horizontally, new cases appear at a consistent rate. When the graph moves up and to the right, then the number of new cases per week is accelerating. Hover over a line to see information for a week and follow the progress of the epidemic over time. To select certain counties, use the county filter box. Alternatively (and for mobile selection) you can click counties in the legend you want to show. Source: Arizona Department of Health Services

On March 2, 2022, AZDHS changed from publishing cases data daily to weekly. Therefore, this chart combines historical daily data with estimated daily cases. Estimated cases are determined by taking the reported weekly cases for each county and dividing by 7.

Daily cases with 7-day trailing average

New COVID-19 cases for each day are marked with black Xs. Hover over each to see the number of cases reported per day. The average for the last 7-days is shown in gold. Hover over the gold line to see averages for each day. Source: Arizona Department of Health Services.

AZ total deaths versus total cases

This graph shows a moving average of total deaths compared to total cases in Arizona. It displays the mortality rate relative to those who are infected. When the graph moves downward, there is a reduction in mortality. When the graph moves horizontally, total cases appear at a consistent rate. When the graph moves up and to the right, then the mortality rate is accelerating. Hover over a line to see information for a week and follow the progress of the epidemic over time.

On March 2, 2022, AZDHS changed from publishing cases data daily to weekly. Therefore, this chart combines historical daily data with estimated daily cases. AZDHS releases new data every Wednesday. Estimated cases and deaths are applied to the week number of the year. As an example, March 9, 2022, is the 11th week of the year. The estimated cases and deaths from this week are applied Monday through Sunday.

Cumulative cases vs deaths by race per 100,000 people

COVID-19 deaths (y axis) versus cases (x-axis) per 100,000 people for Asian (maroon), Black (gold), Latino (black), Native American (green), White (blue). Native Americans have been the hardest hit of any race in the state.

Arizona hospital beds

Hospital metrics indicate COVID-19’s demand on the Arizona health care system. These stacked bar charts display bed use overall, in intensive care units and emergency departments as reported by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Arizona emergency department beds

The stacked bar charts display emergency department bed use as reported by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

* More emergency department beds are reported as in use for COVID patients than the total number of emergency department beds in use. This is resulting in some of the data to display below the X axis.
