Spread of COVID-19: Adult Detention Facilities in LA County
share
We analyze the spread of COVID-19 cases within adult detention facilities in Los Angeles (LA) county. Throughout the analysis we review the data to explore the range of positive cases in each center and see the percentage of people who were positive for COVID-19 against the amount of people who were tested. Additionally, we see if there is any correlation between the surrounding community of each detention center and the number of positive cases in each center and explore the protocols in place at each detention center. We use the cloud visualization tool SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) with the data from the California government website through adult detention facilities in LA County. We found that (1) the number of confirmed cases at the facilities and the surrounding communities are not related, (2) the data does not represent all positive cases at the facility, and (3) there are not enough tests at the facilities.
