This interactive tool uses similar algorithms and features as the COVID-19 Capacity Predictor and captures some of the key metrics that indicate when different areas can begin safely easing stay-at-home restrictions.
The effective reproduction rate, or effective reproduction number, is an important metric in this dashboard. It gauges how many new individuals will likely be infected by one COVID-positive person. This calculation—together with state testing information and existing stay-at-home parameters—reflects how a state or county is managing infection rates and when they might safely reopen.
