Urgent care data shows spikes in COVID positivity rates, especially in Texas

Austin (KXAN)-with increased temperatures during the summer months, as well as the positive cases of Covid-19 cases, according to Texas’s health experts. Urgent care clinics data throughout the country shows that Texas has seen one of the summer era in the country.

ExperimentsSoftware Healthcare Company, which tracked data from urgent care clinics, and revealed an increase in Covid cases during the summer months.

A screenshot of the chief medical official, Andrea Giamalva, PhD in Medicine, explaining the Covid data collected by the disorders.

According to experimentation, the sizes of urgent care visit continued at a predictive pace during the summer; However, several states witnessed a rise in Kofid’s diagnoses.

During the summer, urgent care clinics witnessed a significant increase in positive patients on an average seven -day basis. From June 1 to August 11, the positive rate of positivity grew from 5 % to 17.9 %, according to experimentation.

The three countries with the highest positive rates (starting August 11) are:

  • Texas – 31.8 %
  • Florida – 28.0 %
  • Arizona – 26.0 %

Andrea Jiamalva, chief medical official at Experity, said that the company is involved in more than 40 million visits annually in the field of urgent care, so it is able to provide data in actual time about things such as the positive rates of Covid, RSV, Strep and influenza.

Giamalva said that the information coming directly from urgent care clinics for society can help draw a clearer image of what is going on in a healthy area, compared to data that come from other sources.

“What interests us is that we are different from the data of the Center for Disease Control for two different reasons,” said Giamalva. “Data of the Disease Control Center uses information about things such as wastewater, where in some states, you may get four offers throughout the entire country for wastewater data.”

She explained that she was also faster.

“The Disease Control Center also has a two-week delay, and as we know in this turn-you know five years after the epidemic-it can be a big difference, a two-week time frame compared to what is happening at the present time.

“The main thing, I think, is the timing of information,” said Giamalva.

The data is available for experimental clients as well as the audience. Giamalva said that the patient’s personal information was not reported with medical data.

Because of the data collected, Giamalva also noticed directions when Covid arrives throughout the year.

“What we also notice with the passage of time because this type of epidemic is in the rear vision mirror, if it is permissible to speak – we realize that Covid enjoys this type of dual peak, where, yes, there are some summits that occur in the winter months, but we also see large peaks in the summer,” she explained.

“Texas is precisely the highest rate of long positivity according to our trend lines.” This may be due to the fact that Texas is an area that tends to travel repeatedly in the summer, in addition to the fact that Kovid usually sees storms in the summer months.
