Information can be actionable only if it is fit for purpose and fit for use. Users of dashboards must therefore be assured of complete, valid, reliable, and balanced information that can support them in making informed decisions as they deal with the pandemic. If, however, information in dashboards is based on suboptimal reporting practices (eg, incomplete or unreliable reporting of data), it could produce undesirable effects, such as misleading perceptions, stress, or anxiety. As such, dashboards are a powerful communication tool, and they are also frequently used by media as key information sources. Moreover, dashboards are used to support individuals in informed decision making, for instance to educate citizens on whether they need to adapt their behaviors to minimize individual and population risk. Web-based public reporting by means of dashboards has become an essential tool for monitoring COVID-19 information and communicating it to the public. Making the right COVID-19 policy decisions requires a balanced trade-off between protecting the population from infection and its consequences, ensuring that non-COVID-19 care needs are met (dual-track capacity monitoring), and minimizing socioeconomic impacts. We also thank the staff of Ontario’s public health units who are responsible for COVID-19 case and contact management and data collection within CCM.In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the infection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that emerged in 2019, governments worldwide have been forced to take measures that impact the lives of individuals in order to protect the health of their citizens. We would like to acknowledge Public Health Ontario for access to case level data from CCM and COVID-19 laboratory data, as well as assistance with data interpretation.
