Key Features:

  • Interactive Map: The dashboard features an interactive map that displays service areas and their corresponding wastewater viral load data.
  • Time Series Charts: Each service area has a dedicated time series chart that plots wastewater viral load data over time. The charts allow users to track trends and identify spikes or declines in viral load levels.
  • Comparative Analysis: Users can compare wastewater viral load data between different service areas and time periods. This enables them to identify areas with higher or lower viral loads and assess changes over time.
  • Export and Download: The dashboard allows users to export and download the data and visualizations in various formats, including PDF, PNG, and CSV. This facilitates further analysis and reporting.
