As part of CDC’s ongoing effort to improve communications on COVID-19, a new, refocused CDC COVID-19 website has been published. The updated site was created to meet the needs of the public so they can easily find the most up-to-date information on COVID-19, especially as we prepare to enter the fall respiratory virus season.

This new website is the result of months of work by technical and health communication experts, who reviewed every page of CDC’s COVID-19 website to identify the information that was most relevant and that continued to be sought out by our partners. 

To maintain transparency, the webpages from the previous version of the COVID-19 website will be available at archive.cdc.gov. Individuals who attempt to access a page that has been archived will see a message that the page has been archived and will be seamlessly redirected to the new COVID-19 website. 

There’s a lot of information on the new, refocused website including a COVID-19 County Check (select your state and county to receive current hospital admission levels and prevention steps by county; data is updated weekly) and COVID-19 Data Tracker:

The landing page contains a plethora of resources.  You’ll want to bookmark and reference this site frequently for the latest information!
