Gating criteria
The state has recently seen an uptick in positivity rate, as the total number of tests, on a seven-day rolling average, had a large drop over the holidays.
The positivity rate reached 14.2 percent, on a seven-day rolling average, as of Jan. 2. As of Jan. 3, the average number of tests on a seven-day rolling average reached 10,530 on a seven-day rolling average, after being over 14,000 on Dec. 24.
The total number of cases on a seven-day rolling average was 930 as of Dec. 28 on a seven-day rolling average. This can lag behind by several days because some labs take longer to conduct or report tests.
