Epidemiology and Surveillance Data

Effective January 1st, 2025, healthcare providers and laboratories will no longer be required to report COVID-19 test results. Healthcare providers will be required to report COVID-19-associated deaths in persons <18 years old and any suspected outbreaks of COVID-19. This change is being made as part of the annual updates to the Tennessee List of Reportable Diseases and Conditions and aligns with Tennessee’s move toward pan-respiratory surveillance and response. Additional information can be reviewed on the Reportable Diseases website (www.tn.gov/health/cedep/reportable-diseases.html).

Data on current trends in respiratory virus illness, including COVID-19, RSV and influenza, can be found on the respiratory viral illness website (https://www.tn.gov/health/rvi.html).

COVID-19 laboratory and illness data from 2020-2024 will remain available online. Updates to COVID-19 dashboards will end after January 15th, 2025 and PDF reports of these dashboards will be made available. Downloadable datasets will be consolidated and made available in mid-January. If additional data are needed, they can be requested through the TDH data request process. Information on data requests can be found here: www.tn.gov/content/tn/health/health-program-areas/statistics.html.
