Notes

1. Washington state testing numbers are as of Dec. 20. All other testing numbers are as of Dec. 21. State-level testing numbers are computed by adding positive and negative test results for a given day, then averaging over seven days.
2. Diagnostic testing targets are based on the projected size of a state’s outbreak by Jan. 1 and assume that two contacts will be tested per positive case. (Previously, targets assumed that 10 contacts would be tested. This has been revised down because current high case rates in the U.S. have limited contact tracing and testing capacities.)
3. Screening targets are based on population size.
4. College students: Estimates assume that 25% of college students are learning in-person in January. Figures only include students; data not available for college teachers and staff.
5. Health care workers: Estimates are based on an assumption that 25% of the health care workforce deals directly with patients.
