Montgomery County’s Community Covid-19 Level is Now ‘High’, according to the county’s Covid-19 surveillance dashboard (photo below). On February 25, 2022, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new metrics enabling communities and individuals to make better decisions based on their local context and unique needs. The new “COVID-19 community level” metrics are based on three pieces of data:
- new COVID-19 hospitalizations,
- hospital capacity, and
- new COVID-19 cases.
The COVID-19 community level is determined by the higher of the new admissions and inpatient beds metrics, based on the current level of new cases per 100,000 population in the past 7 days. To find out the COVID-19 community level:
- First determine whether a county, state, or territory has fewer than 200 new cases per 100,000 people in the past 7 days or 200 new cases or more per 100,000 people in the past 7 days.
- Then, determine the level (low, medium, or high) for the new admissions and inpatient beds and indicators using the scale for the area’s number for new cases.
- The COVID-19 Community Level is based on the higher of the new admissions and inpatient beds metrics.
