The radar
A calm view of disease-outbreak signals from the agencies that confirm them. Markers are sized by confirmed-case count and colored by source tier: green for Tier 1 official, amber for Tier 2 reputable, muted gray for Tier 3 unverified (off by default). Numbers come with a publisher and an “as of” date. We do not invent case counts.

If you've never read a public-health dashboard before, start here
Step 1
Look at the map.
Green markers are confirmed by an official source (Tier 1). Amber markers are reported by reputable secondary sources (Tier 2). Muted gray markers are unverified social signals (Tier 3) and are off by default.
Step 2
Read the signal timeline.
Most recent first. Each row names the publisher and the date.
Step 3
Click a region in the watch list.
You'll get the most recent confirmed update for that region with the source and the date we accessed it.
Important
Don't read this as a diagnostic tool.
Outbreak Signal aggregates public-health information from official sources. It is not medical advice.
