ReOpen DC Sustained Decrease (Retired)

This layer was retired on November 1, 2020. Data include only community infections, not infections that happen in congregate settings. Congregate settings include jails, assisted living, and shelters. We restrict to community infections because infections that occur in congregate settings can be controlled through infection control efforts within the institution/facility. Users of the data should use the symptom onset date or estimated start of the infectious period (i.e., when a person can transmit the disease to another person), rather than the report date to give a better understanding of how the virus is spread across the District. June 22 was the calendar date where the policy effect took place. Data through June 22 are reported on June 24, and represent a symptom onset date of June 15. This data is used to calculate the Reopening DC metric with number of days where cases in the community by date of symptom onset (for symptomatic individuals) or estimated start of infectious period (for asymptomatic individuals) have decreased. A day of decrease is defined as a day where the number of new cases is less than 2 standard deviations of the 5 day rolling average from the previous low OR there has not been 3 days of consecutive increase. The count resets to the day with the closest most recent value when a peak is detected. The days in between are no longer counted. The goal of this metric is to reach 14 days of sustained decrease, with a final value below 131 cases per day (2 standard deviations below the initial peak). Data are subject to change on a daily basis and reported at a 9-day lag for proper analysis.
