CDC has tool to know the COVID-19 community level

People with health issues that need to keep track of COVID-19 infections can now use a new tool from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent.
COVID-19 Community Levels is available to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data.
Levels can be low, medium or high, and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area.
The tool allows individuals to take precautions to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in their area.
Visit the CDC’s site at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html where data is easily accessible through a dropdown listing. There is also a link to a “Check County” map.
The site also provides prevention steps that may be taken based on your COVID-19 Community Level.
