Evaluation of the US Definitions for Coronavirus Disease 2019 Community Risk Levels. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines a county metric of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) community levels to inform public health measures. We find that the COVID-19 community levels vary frequently over time, which may not be optimal for decision making. Alternative metric formulations that do not compromise predictive ability are shown to reduce variability.
