Evaluation of the United States definitions for COVID-19 community risk levels

Clin Infect Dis. 2022 Nov 26:ciac922. doi: 10.1093/cid/ciac922. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

The United States CDC defines a county metric of 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.
