New 'COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool' from Georgia Tech
|
This site, from Georgia Tech, provides interactive context to assess the risk that one or more individuals infected with COVID-19 are present in an event of various sizes. The model is simple, intentionally so, and provided some context for the rationale to halt large gatherings in early-mid March and newly relevant context for considering when and how to re-open. Precisely because of under-testing and the risk of exposure and infection, these risk calculations provide further support for the ongoing need for social distancing and protective measures. Such precautions are still needed even in small events, given the large number of circulating cases. |
This is an interactive risk assessment tool that examines current estimates for COVID-19 spread levels in counties across the U.S. Use the map to hone in on your county to provide you and your leadership team with more information to make better risk assessments for in-person worship and other church events.
