In the coming days, we are rolling out major changes to the virus tracking pages that have been published multiple times a day for the past 13 months. First, a few thoughts on why we’re making these changes:We are at a different stage in the pandemic, with more data available than ever before. We first published the U.S. tracking map in March 2020, showing where the first 118 cases had been reported. Now, with this redesign, we have created a single destination for tracking the coronavirus and helping readers navigate the pandemic. This is similar to the effort we made in January to publish local risk pages with the best available county-level data.
