Frederick County COVID-19 Data Dashboard
COVID-19 Community Level: LOW
COVID-19 TRANSMISSION Level: MODERATE
COVID-19 Community Levels are a tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area. (Note: The level reported on this page is based on local daily calculations. CDC reports this metric on Thursdays and their data can lag approximately 2 days)
At our current level, people should:
- Consider wearing a mask indoors in public places. CDC recommends that people who are at high risk of complications from COVID talk to their healthcare provider about wearing a mask or taking other precautions.
- Get vaccinated/boosted
- Get tested if you have symptoms
Hospitals, nursing homes, and healthcare settings are instructed to follow CDC's COVID-19 Transmission Level. People who are immunocompromised may want to talk with their healthcare provider about their level of risk, which metric is best for them to follow, and what steps they should take to protect themselves.
Masks should still be worn by people with symptoms of COVID-19, a positive COVID-19 test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19. Additionally, people may still choose to wear a mask at any time based on personal preference, informed by personal level of risk.

The -1 death reported on Jan. 28, 2021 was due to a case/death being reassigned to another jurisdiction.
5/27/2021: The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) Vital Statistics Administration (VSA) has revised the state’s COVID-19 data to include deaths that were not properly classified by medical certifiers over the past year. VSA identified these deaths as COVID-19 deaths through an information reconciliation process utilizing other sources of data. The May 27 increase of +12 deaths reflects the additional deaths that have been included.
This data is updated daily around 10am.
Positivity Rate
The percent positive rate is a seven-day rolling average of positive results as a percentage of all tests.How is the positivity rate calculated?
Maryland's positivity rate reflects the seven-day rolling average of each day's positivity percentage. The daily positivity percentage is calculated using the total number of tests electronically reported to MDH (by date of report) and the number of positive tests electronically reported to MDH (by date of report).Why report the positivity rate?
As Maryland’s testing capacity continues to increase, using the positivity rate provides additional context to case counts. It informs data about testing and the presence and spread of COVID-19 throughout Maryland.This data is updated based on CDC schedule.
This data is updated weekly on Wednesdays around 10am. NOTE: if table displays "no data", there are no current outbreaks in Frederick County.

Frequent question: I don’t see X facility listed. Does that mean that the health department isn’t following them or they aren’t reporting to you?
The facilities listed in the table above only includes active outbreaks (which is defined as one case in these types of facilities). If the facility you’re looking for isn’t included on that list, that means that there is no current active outbreak in that facility. (Please note that the website is updated once a week on Wednesdays around 10am). Frederick County Health Department nurses are assigned to all long term care facilities in the county, providing them with guidance and support. We are in daily contact with all nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Frederick County.
