Starting 11/1/21, several states shifted to the use of report date; this change may result in fluctuations of weekly values and/or week-
on-week changes.

The purpose of this report is to develop a shared understanding of the current status of the pandemic at the national, regional, state, and local
levels. We recognize that data at the state level may differ from that available at the federal level. Our objective is to use consistent data sources
and methods that allow for comparisons to be made across localities. We appreciate your continued support in identifying data discrepancies
and improving data completeness and sharing across systems. We look forward to your feedback. All inquiries and requests for information

DATA SOURCES
Maps and figures reflect 7-day average of data from 12/3-12/9 (cases), 12/1-12/7 (tests). Metro areas and counties are listed in order of the total
number of cases in the last week from largest to smallest.
Note: Most recent days may have incomplete reporting.
Cases: County-level data are from a CDC managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the
values may not match those reported directly by the state. Data are through 12/9/2021.
Testing: CELR (COVID-19 Electronic Lab Reporting) state health department-reported data. Data are through 12/7/2021.
Combined Transmission Level: If the two indicators suggest different transmission levels, the higher level is selected. Previous week transmission
levels are computed based on current data. See CDC COVID Data Tracker.

DATA SOURCES
Note: Some dates may have incomplete data due to delays in reporting. Data may be backfilled over time, resulting in week-to-week changes.
Cases: County-level data are from a CDC managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the values may not match
those reported directly by the state. State values are aggregated data provided by the states to the CDC. As of 6/4, Florida is only updating their county case data on
Fridays, therefore values for the last week may be an underestimate. As of 6/30, Nebraska was no longer updating their state dashboard and since 5/26, Nebraska was
reporting by Local Health Department instead of county; therefore, between 5/25 and 9/1 no county case and death data are available. As of 9/21, Nebraska began
providing county case and death data directly to CDC, with daily data going back to 9/2. The week one month before is from 11/5 to 11/11; the week two months before is
from 10/8 to 10/14; the week three months before is from 9/10 to 9/16. Due to a cyber attack still under investigation, Maryland has not updated cases since 12/5/2021.

DATA SOURCES
Note: Some dates may have incomplete data due to delays in reporting. Data may be backfilled over time, resulting in week-to-week changes.
Deaths: County-level data are from a CDC managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the values may not match those reported directly by the state. State values are
aggregated data provided by the states to the CDC. Between 6/5 and 8/18, Florida was not updating their county deaths data; therefore no county death data are available for this time frame. As of 8/10/2021, Florida changed their
method of reporting COVID-19 deaths at the state level and will report on the day of incident, not the day of report, which could result in a fluctuation in the number of deaths from recent weeks due to delayed reporting. As of 6/30,
Nebraska was no longer updating their state dashboard and since 5/26, Nebraska was reporting by Local Health Department instead of county; therefore, between 5/25 and 9/1 no county case and death data are available. As of
9/21, Nebraska began providing county case and death data directly to CDC, with daily data going back to 9/2. As of 3/2/2021, Ohio changed their method of reporting COVID-19 deaths and will report deaths on the day of death, not
the day of report, which could result in a fluctuation in the number of deaths from recent weeks due to delayed reporting. As of 10/20/2021, Oklahoma changed their method of reporting COVID-19 deaths to include provisional
deaths, which could result in a higher number of deaths in recent weeks due to delayed reporting. Puerto Rico is shown at the territory level as deaths are not reported at the municipio level. The week one month before is from
11/5 to 11/11; the week two months before is from 10/8 to 10/14; the week three months before is from 9/10 to 9/16. Iowa did not update county-level deaths data for the week of 12/6/2021. Kansas did not update county-level
deaths data for the week of 12/6/2021. Due to a cyber attack still under investigation, Maryland has not updated deaths since 12/5/2021. As of 12/3/2021, probable deaths are now being included in Missouri county-level deaths
data. Due to technical issues, county-level deaths in Oklahoma have not updated since 11/3/2021.

DATA SOURCES
Maps and figures reflect 7-day average of data from 12/3-12/9 (cases), 12/1-12/7 (tests).
Note: Most recent days may have incomplete reporting.
Cases: County-level data are from a CDC managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the values may not match those
reported directly by the state Data are through 12/9/2021. Due to a cyber attack still under investigation, Maryland has not updated cases since 12/5/2021.
Testing: Combination of CELR (COVID-19 Electronic Lab Reporting) state health department-reported data and HHS Protect laboratory data (provided directly to Federal
Government from public health labs, hospital labs, and commercial labs). Data are through 12/7/2021. As of 8/31/2021, Washington has been experiencing technical issues. As
a result, test positivity and test volume may be incomplete.
County Percentages: Based on a denominator of 3,220 county/county-equivalents, including states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico municipios.
Combined Transmission Level: If the two indicators suggest different transmission levels, the higher level is selected. Previous week transmission levels are computed based
on current data. See CDC COVID Data Tracker.

DATA SOURCES & METHODS

STATE PROFILE REPORT | 12.10.2021
• Some dates may have incomplete data due to delays and/or differences in state reporting. Data may be backfilled over time, resulting in week-to-week changes between
reports. It is critical that states provide as up-to-date data as possible. Figures and values may also differ from state reports due to differing methodologies. For more
information, see CDC COVID Data Tracker.
• All population values are vintage 2019 US Census data.
• Cases and Deaths: County-level data are from a CDC-managed aggregate county dataset compiled from state and local health departments; therefore, the values may not
match those reported directly by the state. State values are aggregated data provided by the states to the CDC. Data and week-on-week changes are as of 11:18 EST on
12/10/2021. Cases and deaths are generally shown by date of report. Some states periodically adjust their past data with CDC to show it by case date and death date, as
determined by the state. Between adjustments, new cases and deaths continue to be shown by date of report. This can potentially lead to over-estimates of the week-on-
week increases in cases or deaths. As of October 25, 2021, CDC no longer spreads aggregate COVID-19 case and death counts evenly over non-reporting days (i.e.,
smoothing), to avoid under-reporting of weekend averages.
• Between 6/5 and 8/18, Florida was not updating their county death data; therefore no county death data are available for this time frame. As of 8/10/2021, Florida
changed their method of reporting COVID-19 deaths at the state level and will report deaths on the day of incident, not the day of report, which could result in a
fluctuation in the number of deaths from recent weeks due to delayed reporting. As of 6/30, Nebraska was no longer updating their state dashboard and since 5/26,
Nebraska was reporting by Local Health Department instead of county; therefore, between 5/25 and 9/1 no county case and death data are available. As of 9/21/2021,
Nebraska began providing county case and death data directly to CDC, with daily data going back to 9/2. As of 3/2/2021, Ohio changed their method of reporting COVID-
19 deaths and will report deaths on the day of death, not the day of report, which could result in a fluctuation in the number of deaths from recent weeks due to
delayed reporting. As of 10/20/2021, Oklahoma changed their method of reporting COVID-19 deaths to include provisional deaths, which could result in a higher
number of deaths in recent weeks due to delayed reporting. Puerto Rico deaths are shown at the territory level as deaths are not reported at the municipio level. Due to
a cyber attack still under investigation, Maryland has not updated county-level cases or deaths since 12/5/2021. Iowa did not update county-level deaths data for the
week of 12/6/2021. Kansas did not update county-level deaths data for the week of 12/6/2021. Due to a cyber attack still under investigation, Maryland has not updated
cases or deaths since 12/5/2021. As of 12/3/2021, probable deaths are now being included in Missouri county-level deaths data. Due to technical issues, county-level
deaths in Oklahoma have not updated since 11/3/2021.
• Historical reports of cases and deaths — for which backfill dates are not available — that exceed 1% of the total new cases or deaths reported in the US that day have
been excluded from state daily and weekly trends. However, these are still present in county-level data. Historical reports in the last two weeks (11/26/21 – 12/9/21)
are:
• Kentucky cases: 126 on 12/7
• Michigan deaths: 57 on 11/29; 160 on 12/1; 169 on 12/3; 47 on 12/6; and 185 on 12/8
• Mississippi deaths: 1 on 11/29; 12 on 11/30; and 6 on 12/3
• Texas cases: 19 on 11/26; 51 on 11/27; 92 on 11/28; 171 on 11/29; and 165 on 11/30
• Testing: The data presented represent viral COVID-19 laboratory diagnostic and screening test results — not individual people — and exclude antibody and antigen tests,
unless stated otherwise. The term Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) includes RT-PCR and other testing methods, which were always included in the testing data. CELR
(COVID-19 Electronic Lab Reporting) state health department-reported data are used to describe county-level viral COVID-19 NAAT result totals when information is
available on patients’ county of residence or healthcare providers’ practice location. HHS Protect laboratory data (provided directly to Federal Government from public
health labs, hospital labs, and commercial labs) are used otherwise. Because the data are deidentified, total NAATs are the number of tests performed, not the number of
individuals tested. NAAT positivity rate is the number of positive tests divided by the number of tests performed and resulted. For test positivity, last week data are from
12/1 to 12/7; previous week data are from 11/24 to 11/30; the week one month before data are from 11/3 to 11/9. For number of tests, last week data are from 11/27 to 12/3;
previous week data are from 11/20 to 11/26. HHS Protect data are recent as of 10:34 EST on 12/10/2021. Testing data are inclusive of everything received and processed by
the CELR system as of 19:00 EST on 12/09/2021. As of 8/31/2021, Washington has been experiencing technical issues. As a result, test positivity and test volume may be
incomplete.
• Hospitalizations: Unified Hospitals Dataset in HHS Protect. These data exclude psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospitals. In addition, hospitals
explicitly identified by states/regions as those from which we should not expect reports were excluded from the percent reporting figure. The data presented represents raw
data provided; we are working diligently with state liaisons to improve reporting consistency. Data are recent as of 10:31 EST on 12/10/2021.
• Hospital PPE: Unified Hospitals Dataset in HHS Protect. This figure may differ from state data due to differences in hospital lists and reporting between federal and state
systems. These data exclude psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospitals. Hospitals explicitly identified by states/regions as those from which we should
not expect reports were excluded from the percent reporting figure. Data are recent as of 10:30 EST on 12/10/2021.
• State, County, and Metro Area Community Transmission Levels
• High Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported 100 or more cases per 100,000 population or a lab test positivity at or above
10.0%.
• Substantial Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported from 50 to 99 cases per 100,000 population or a lab test positivity
from 8.0% to 9.9%.
• Moderate Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported from 10 to 49 cases per 100,000 population or a lab test positivity from
5.0% to 7.9%.
• Low Transmission: Those states, CBSAs, and counties that during the last week reported from 0 to 9 cases per 100,000 population or a lab test positivity from 0.0% to
4.9%.
• If the two indicators suggest different transmission levels, the higher level is selected. Previous week transmission levels are computed based on current data. See CDC
COVID Data Tracker.
• Shortages: Unified Hospitals Dataset in HHS Protect. These data exclude psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospitals. Includes hospitals currently
reporting a staffing shortage. Low supply is defined as a hospital reporting they are not able to maintain a 3-day supply of N95s, face masks, gloves, gowns, or eye
protection. Data are recent as of 10:30 EST on 12/10/2021.
• Vaccinations: CDC COVID Data Tracker. Data includes the Moderna, Pfizer BioNTech, and J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccines and reflects current data available as of 12:28 EST
on 12/10/2021. Data last updated 06:00 EST on 12/10/2021. Persons who are fully vaccinated include those who have received both doses of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech
vaccine as well as those who have received one dose of the J&J/Janssen vaccine. Allocations are made pro rata (equal based on population) from which jurisdictions are
then to order. COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. are authorized only for persons ≥5 years of age (Pfizer-BioNTech) or ≥18 years of age (Moderna and J&J/Janssen).
Population denominators reflect the subset of the population of the corresponding age range when specified (e.g., 12+, 12-17, 18+, or 65+), otherwise the total population is
used. The count of people who received a booster dose includes anyone who is fully vaccinated and has received another dose of COVID-19 vaccine since August 13, 2021.
This includes people who received booster doses and people who received additional doses. CDC has capped the percent of population coverage metrics at 95.0%. These
metrics could be greater than 95.0% for multiple reasons, including census denominator data not including all individuals that currently reside in the county (e.g., part time
residents) or potential data reporting errors. The following states have ≤80% completeness reporting vaccinations by county, which may result in underestimates of
vaccination data for counties: WV (77%), VT (74%), GA (59%), and HI (0%).
• Variants: Data from CDC COVID Data Tracker. Variant proportions are based on representative CDC sequence data (NS3 + CDC-funded contract sequencing) collected over a
4-week period ending November 13, 2021 for states with at least 300 sequences. Proportions are calculated using empirical (unweighted) data, which are subject to change
over time and will be updated as more data become available. Proportions of variants do not represent the total number that may be circulating in the United States and
may not match cases reported by states, territories, tribes, and local officials. For states and jurisdictions not listed, CDC has insufficient genomic surveillance data for the
specified time period. Data updated by 19:00 ET on 12/7. Data pulled 11:16 EST on 12/10/2021.
