CTP puts long-term care data into the Lumped or Other category in our dataset. Kansas reports cumulative and outbreak data. Kansas does provide facility-level data. Kansas reports staff and resident cases and staff and resident deaths as combined.

Kansas provides cumulative totals for resident and staff cases and resident and staff deaths and number of facilities with a case

Kansas provides outbreak data for resident and staff cases and resident and staff deaths and number of facilities with a case. Kansas defines an outbreak as a facility with five or more COVID-19 cases with symptom onset dates in a 14-day period. An outbreak ends when 14 days have passed without 5 or more cases.

Facility notes

The state does not provide facility-level cumulative data. The state provides facility-level outbreak data. Outbreak facility-level data was first reported by the state on 2020-09-24.

Because each state reports facility-level data differently, CTP has produced a number of scripts to make the dataset as standardized and comprehensive as possible. This state uses the following scripts: post_processing, standardize_data, close_outbreaks. More information on each of these scripts can be found in our Airtable Facility Script Annotations.
