That website is updated every day at 2:00pm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe overall dashboard is there to show a little more detail of the number of cases that are being reported in each county,\u201d Catellier said. \u201cAs the Department of Health updates their website, we may add more data to the overall dashboard just to keep people informed.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Austin Peay State University\u2019s GIS Center, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apsugis.org\/\" >www.apsugis.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarksville, TN &#8211; On January 22nd, 2020 Johns Hopkins University unveiled a COVID-19 map that tracked confirmed cases of the new coronavirus from all over the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[357,12770,575,12771,7819,1898,12675,12712,12772,11357,7379,513],"class_list":["post-15458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community","tag-apsu","tag-apsu-gis-center","tag-austin-peay-state-university","tag-bryndon-rhoton","tag-clarksville","tag-clarksville-tn","tag-coronavirus","tag-covid-19","tag-doug-catellier","tag-johns-hopkins-university","tag-tdh","tag-tennessee-department-of-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15459,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15458\/revisions\/15459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristn.net\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
