Monthly Scenarios – In the videos given below, the map on the left shows the number of Confirmed Cases by US County. This map can be used to visualize how the cumulative impact of the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the country.

The map on the right shows Daily New Cases Per Capita by US county. Counties in yellow have 1 – 10 confirmed coronavirus cases per million, while areas with no color have less than 1 case per million. For developing planning scenarios, these areas may be of interest, as they are under the IMHE‘s suggested threshold of 1 infection per million to begin easing social distancing restrictions while avoiding a resurgence of infections via active case detection and contact tracing
