States and COVID-19: KFF Tool Provides State-Level Data on Cases and
Deaths and State Policy Actions in Response to the Pandemic
As COVID-19, the disease caused
by the novel coronavirus, spreads rapidly in the United States, a new tool from KFF provides the latest state-level
data on COVID-19 cases and deaths, provider capacity and the various policy
actions that states have taken to combat the crisis.
The
tool can be a useful resource for journalists, policymakers, health care
professionals and others who are tracking the spread of the pandemic, as
states, public health officials and the federal government work to provide
access to testing for the virus and treatment for those who contract the
potentially fatal disease it causes.
The
tool features regularly updated state level data about:
“States
are on the frontline of this epidemic, and these are important factors that
may play a role in how effectively states respond,” said KFF President and
CEO Drew Altman. “As this public health crisis evolves, states will need to
learn from each other and credible facts will be crucially important.”
The
tool will be updated daily. Also available is KFF’s COVID-19 Coronavirus Tracker, which provides the
number of cases and deaths from novel coronavirus by country, the trend in
case and death counts by country, and a global map showing which countries
have cases and deaths.
