COVID-19 Community Levels

A measure of the impact of COVID-19 illness on health and healthcare systems.

How CDC Measures COVID-19 Community Levels

CDC looks at the combination of three metrics:
  • new COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 population in the past 7 days
  • the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients
  • total new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past 7 days
