April 2021

  • April 29:
    • Health Secretary Tracie Collins amended the state’s Red to Green reopening framework to make it easier for counties to move to less restrictive color phases. Criteria now include:
      • A per-capita rate of new COVID-19 cases of 10 per 100,000 residents or less over 14 days,
      • A positivity rate of 7.5% or less over 14 days, and
      • A target percentage of fully vaccinated residents that will start at 35% April 30, increase to 40% May 5, and increase by 5% every two weeks afterward.
    • Counties that meet none of the three criteria will be in the red (most restrictive) phase. Counties can move to yellow if they meet one of the benchmarks, green if they meet two, and turquoise if they meet all three. Counties that stay green in two consecutive (biweekly) map updates can also move to turquoise. Once a county moves to turquoise, its data is only reviewed every four weeks (not biweekly like red, yellow, and green counties’ data).
