The Arizona Department of Health Services has decided to update the state's COVID-19 data on a weekly basis following a decline in cases and hospitalizations.
Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Richard Carmona, who has been a special adviser to Gov. Doug Ducey, announced the change Friday on the state Department of Health Services’ website., Carmona said it was the right time to cut down to updating the state dashboard weekly "with all COVID-19 metrics steadily declining."
The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials indicates at least 34 states no longer report virus data daily, Carmona added.
