This week, MMWR published three reports and a new feature called COVID-19 Stats. One report demonstrates how frequent testing combined with preventive behaviors limited the spread of COVID-19 on a university campus. The second report describes the rapid spread of COVID-19 in New York City in early spring. The last report details how COVID-19 impacts residents and staff in assisted living facilities in the United States. Lastly, COVID-19 Stats, our new feature, showcases recent data in a figure to inform public health action. This week’s COVID-19 Stats highlights increases in rates of COVID-19 in rural areas and small cities compared to urban areas.
