We've been working on something very exciting that I can now share!

🥁Introducing 🥁

COVID Analysis & Mapping of Policies #COVIDAMP
covidamp.org

A resource for decision-makers, researchers & lawyers tracking US & global #Covid19 laws & policies ⚖️

🧵Details!
1/10

Starting with the COVID AMP interactive map, you first get a visual snapshot of US cases and a quantified scale of the level of physical distancing policy & laws in place for each state.

covidamp.org/policymaps

Click on any state to see what laws & policies are currently active (repealed & relaxing policies are also in the data) like:
- business shutdowns
- mass gathering bans
- facemasks

Pop up also shows you the phase of recovery & number of new #COVID19 cases over last 7 days.

(Quick mid-thread aside: these are all the types of measures (and their definitions) of what we have reviewed laws and policies for #Covid19 for):

But wait! There's more! An expanded #COVIDAMP dashboard is also available to browse. It has all of the policy/law information in the map & more.

You can access it for each state clicking "View these policies" or directly at covidamp.org/data, showing you this:

Each law/policy then has an entry viewable on the dashboard, including information about what it does, where it does it, and the legal authority.

PLUS! To make life easy for researchers/scholars/policymakers: we link you directly to a PDF of the law/policy!

Finally, in the pursuit of open data & science, and because we want people to be able to use this for #covid19 law/policy/public health research, the full #COVIDAMP database is available to download.

In it, you get so much more info, inc. legal authority/ statute/ rule.
6/10

The full #COVIDAMP policy & plan database has more than 5,730 records and we have an incredible team @georgetown_ghss working consistently to keep it up to date & analyze it for legal authorities.

We have another legal update to 🌎US pending & are expanding 🌍globally🌏

We welcome all feedback, corrections, additions (& funding 😛). Feel free to also share projects, research or articles you develop using it: we'd love to see it!
