<span style="line-height:inherit;color:#4f4f4f">Covid Act Now
provides a 3-color COVID community risk level score for every
state, county, and metro in the U.S. The scoring is informed by
3 key metrics: weekly new reported COVID cases, weekly COVID
hospital admissions and the percent of staffed inpatient beds
occupied by COVID patients. These changes reflect the now
decreased risk of severe illness and death from COVID due to
vaccines, therapeutics, and past COVID infections, as well as
other developments. The framework is based on the CDC's
Community Level framework. <a href="https://1cg5wmp.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fcovidactnow.org%2Ffaq%23why-site-changes-2022/1/010001811630bcb1-710657b8-d257-4392-bfa6-16f493723153-000000/dOVEYksEyHSnOx6Rb2HWbHwvaks=271" style="line-height:inherit;color:#00bfea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Learn more about the change</a>.</span>
