2/ Overall incidence ⬇️ to 8.07% (⬇️ 0.06%). Overall incidence has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate.

3/ Daily incidence fluctuated b/w 3.19% & 8.88% over last 14 days. Avg daily incidence on 3/30 is 3.9%. Avg daily incidence each month:
May: 6.80% Nov: 737%

6/ # active cases (23,716) ⬆️d (not stat sig). Cases ⬇️ 2/21, consistent w/flu & PNA “seasons.” Hospital caseloads normalized. Avg # new cases/day each month:

8/ % recovered =96.0%, active cases =2.6%, deaths =1.36%. MR ⬆️ to 0.118%. Avg # deaths/day =9.86 (⬇️ 2.85). Avg # deaths/day:
3/20: 0.80 10/20: 29.2
4/20: 14.4 11/20: 36.9
5/20: 18 12/20: 66

9/ 0-17 & 18-24 cohorts, where 18
deaths out of 230,256 total cases (CFR = 0.00755%) since 6/15. Conversely, while 14% of NC COVID cases (132,406) are in 65-75+ cohort, 82% of all NC COVID deaths (10,412) are in this cohort; of these 43.6% have been in congregate settings.

10/ Hospitalizations reporting changed on 11/13, & ⬇️ by 19 pts to 963. NOTE: on 5/4/21, vent, ICU, & inpatient available capacity well within normal limits & have been for ~7 wks.

% change in active cases & tests ⬆️ slightly this wk (not stat sig); incidence did not change.

11/ WCPSS reported 84 cases 4/8-14 (71 stdts/13 staff). Private/charter schools report 38 cases (35 students/3 staff).

Covid cases per cohort ⬆️‘d across some age groups (not stat sig) this wk. Main cohort drivers of Covid transmission are 25-49 yrs, 50-64 yrs, & 18-24 yrs.

12/12 There were 1981 active cases in 50-64 cohort & 4858 in 25-49 cohort (total 6839). There are 3722 active cases COMBINED in 2-24 cohort. (ALL of NC). Overall, avg daily/rolling 14-day incid, active cases, hosp, daily cases, deaths/day steady. Hospital capacity not an issue.
