The Johnson County Department of Health and Environment on Tuesday launched a population health survey on COVID-19 symptoms, part of an effort to gain a better understanding of how widespread infection rates here might be.
The voluntary survey, which is available here, will be open through Friday, April 10 at 10 a.m. Participants will be “asked to do this same survey several more times in the next few weeks in order to compare results,” according to JCDHE.
The survey asks residents to share information about:
- Whether they are experiencing possible symptoms of coronavirus infection
- Their age, sex, ethnicity and zip code
- Contact information
The county says all of the information will be kept confidential by JCDHE and will only be used to conduct an analysis on community spread of the virus.
