COVID-19 Reported Cases per 100,000 Population (last 7 days) and Percent of Total Population Fully Vaccinated

Starting 11/1/21, several states shifted to the use of report date; this change may result in fluctuations of weekly values and/or week-on-week
changes. Starting with the 1/14/22 report, hospitals reporting a current staffing shortage is no longer included due to changes in data reported
from hospitals.

The purpose of this report is to develop a shared understanding of the current status of the pandemic at the national, regional, state, and local
levels. We recognize that data at the state level may differ from that available at the federal level. Our objective is to use consistent data sources
and methods that allow for comparisons to be made across localities. We appreciate your continued support in identifying data discrepancies
and improving data completeness and sharing across systems. We look forward to your feedback. All inquiries and requests for information

DATA SOURCES
Maps and figures reflect 7-day average of data from 1/14-1/20 (cases), 1/12-1/18 (tests). Metro areas and counties are listed in order of the total
number of cases in the last week from largest to smallest.
Note: Most recent days may have incomplete reporting.
Cases: County-level data are from a CDC managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the
values may not match those reported directly by the state. Data are through 1/20/2022.
Testing: CELR (COVID-19 Electronic Lab Reporting) state health department-reported data. Data are through 1/18/2022.
Combined Transmission Level: If the two indicators suggest different transmission levels, the higher level is selected. Previous week transmission
levels are computed based on current data. See CDC COVID Data Tracker.

Note: Some dates may have incomplete data due to delays in reporting. Data may be backfilled over time, resulting in week-to-week changes.
Deaths: County-level data are from a CDC managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the values may
not match those reported directly by the state. State values are aggregated data provided by the states to the CDC. As of 3/2/2021, Ohio changed their
method of reporting COVID-19 deaths and will report deaths on the day of death, not the day of report, which could result in a fluctuation in the number of
deaths from recent weeks due to delayed reporting. Puerto Rico is shown at the territory level as deaths are not reported at the municipio level. The week
one month before is from 12/17 to 12/23 ; the week two months before is from 11/19 to 11/25; the week three months before is from 10/22 to 10/28.

DATA SOURCES & METHODS

STATE PROFILE REPORT | 01.21.2022
• Some dates may have incomplete data due to delays and/or differences in state reporting. Data may be backfilled over time, resulting in week-to-week
changes between reports. It is critical that states provide as up-to-date data as possible. Figures and values may also differ from state reports due to differing
methodologies. For more information, see CDC COVID Data Tracker.
• All population values are vintage 2019 US Census data.
• Cases and Deaths: County-level data are from a CDC-managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the
values may not match those reported directly by the state. State values are aggregated data provided by the states to the CDC. Data and week-on-week
changes are as of 11:02 EST on 01/21/2022. Cases and deaths are generally shown by date of report. Some states periodically adjust their past data with CDC
to show it by case date and death date, as determined by the state. Between adjustments, new cases and deaths continue to be shown by date of report. This
can potentially lead to over-estimates of the week-on-week increases in cases or deaths. As of October 25, 2021, CDC no longer spreads aggregate COVID-19
case and death counts evenly over non-reporting days (i.e., smoothing), to avoid under-reporting of weekend averages.
• As of 3/2/2021, Ohio changed their method of reporting COVID-19 deaths and will report deaths on the day of death, not the day of report, which could
result in a fluctuation in the number of deaths from recent weeks due to delayed reporting. Puerto Rico deaths are shown at the territory level as deaths
are not reported at the municipio level.
• Historical reports of cases and deaths — for which backfill dates are not available — that exceed 1% of the total new cases or deaths reported in the US
that day have been excluded from state daily and weekly trends. However, these are still present in county-level data. Historical reports in the last two
weeks (1/7/22 – 1/20/22) are:
• Alaska deaths: 62 on 1/19
• Kentucky cases: 135 on 1/18
• Michigan deaths: 136 on 1/7; 282 on 1/12; 140 on 1/14; and 346 on 1/19
• North Carolina cases: 10,791 on 1/13
• Texas cases: 46,571 on 1/14
• Testing: The data presented represent viral COVID-19 laboratory diagnostic and screening test results — not individual people — and exclude antibody and
antigen tests, unless stated otherwise. The term Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) includes RT-PCR and other testing methods, which were always
included in the testing data. CELR (COVID-19 Electronic Lab Reporting) state health department-reported data are used to describe county-level viral COVID-
19 NAAT result totals when information is available on patients’ county of residence or healthcare providers’ practice location. Because the data are
deidentified, total NAATs are the number of tests performed, not the number of individuals tested. NAAT positivity rate is the number of positive tests divided
by the number of tests performed and resulted. For test positivity, last week data are from 1/12 to 1/18; previous week data are from 1/5 to 1/11; the week one
month before data are from 12/15 to 12/21. For number of tests, last week data are from 1/8 to 1/14; previous week data are from 1/1 to 1/7. HHS Protect data
are recent as of 10:36 EST on 01/21/2022. Testing data are inclusive of everything received and processed by the CELR system as of 19:00 EST on 01/20/2022. As
of 8/31/2021, Washington has been experiencing technical issues. As a result, test positivity and test volume may be incomplete.
• Hospitalizations: Unified Hospitals Dataset in HHS Protect. These data exclude psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospitals. In addition,
hospitals explicitly identified by states/regions as those from which we should not expect reports were excluded from the percent reporting figure. The data
presented represents raw data provided; we are working diligently with state liaisons to improve reporting consistency. Data are recent as of 10:35 EST on
01/21/2022.
• Hospital PPE: Unified Hospitals Dataset in HHS Protect. This figure may differ from state data due to differences in hospital lists and reporting between
federal and state systems. These data exclude psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospitals. Hospitals explicitly identified by states/regions
as those from which we should not expect reports were excluded from the percent reporting figure. Data are recent as of 10:40 EST on 01/21/2022.
• State, County, and Metro Area Community Transmission Levels
• High Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported 100 or more cases per 100,000 population or a lab test
positivity at or above 10.0%.
• Substantial Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported from 50 to 99 cases per 100,000 population or a lab test
positivity from 8.0% to 9.9%.
• Moderate Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported from 10 to 49 cases per 100,000 population or a lab test
positivity from 5.0% to 7.9%.
• Low Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported from 0 to 9 cases per 100,000 population or a lab test positivity
from 0.0% to 4.9%.
• If the two indicators suggest different transmission levels, the higher level is selected. Previous week transmission levels are computed based on current
data. See CDC COVID Data Tracker.
• Shortages: Unified Hospitals Dataset in HHS Protect. These data exclude psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospitals. Low supply is
defined as a hospital reporting they are not able to maintain a 3-day supply of N95s, face masks, gloves, gowns, or eye protection. Data are recent as of 10:40
EST on 01/21/2022.
• Vaccinations: CDC COVID Data Tracker. Data includes the Moderna, Pfizer BioNTech, and J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccines and reflects current data available
as of 12:06 EST on 01/21/2022. Data last updated 06:00 EST on 01/21/2022. Persons who are fully vaccinated include those who have received both doses of
the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine as well as those who have received one dose of the J&J/Janssen vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. are
authorized only for persons ≥5 years of age (Pfizer-BioNTech) or ≥18 years of age (Moderna and J&J/Janssen). Population denominators reflect the subset of
the population of the corresponding age range when specified (e.g., 12+, 12-17, 18+, or 65+), otherwise the total population is used. The count of people who
received a booster dose includes anyone who is fully vaccinated and has received another dose of COVID-19 vaccine since August 13, 2021. This includes
people who received booster doses and people who received additional doses. CDC has capped the percent of population coverage metrics at 95.0%. These
metrics could be greater than 95.0% for multiple reasons, including census denominator data not including all individuals that currently reside in the county
(e.g., part time residents) or potential data reporting errors. The following states have ≤80% completeness reporting vaccinations by county, which may result
in underestimates of vaccination data for counties: VA (80%), VT (74%), and HI (0%).
• Variants: Data from CDC COVID Data Tracker. Variant proportions are based on representative CDC sequence data (NS3 + CDC-funded contract sequencing)
collected over a 4-week period ending December 25, 2021 for states with at least 300 sequences. Proportions are calculated using empirical (unweighted)
data, which are subject to change over time and will be updated as more data become available. Proportions of variants do not represent the total number
that may be circulating in the United States and may not match cases reported by states, territories, tribes, and local officials. For states and jurisdictions not
listed, CDC has insufficient genomic surveillance data for the specified time period. Data updated by 19:00 ET on 1/18. Data pulled 11:00 EST on 01/21/2022.
