Key Metrics for COVID Suppression
A Framework for policy makers and the public July 1, 2020
The Harvard Global Health Institute and Harvard’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics have been working with a network of research and policy organizations to achieve convergence around recommendations for core metrics to be used to evaluate the status of COVID response and key performance indicators to evaluate how well particular tools of response are being deployed. Convergence metrics and indicators have been sought for the following areas:
1. Epidemiology 2. Response capacity a. TTSI- testing, tracing, and supported isolation b. Use of other non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.g. social distancing, masking) c. Therapeutic capacity d. Protection capacity (capacity to identify and meet the needs of vulnerable populations) e. Infection control f. Disease surveillance capacity
Participants in these convergence conversations have included TTSI Collaborative members (Harvard Global Health Institute; Harvard’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Partners in Health); CovidActNow.org; Covid-local.org; Resolve to Save Lives; the Nuclear Threat Initiative; Georgetown Center for Global Health Science and Security; Rockefeller Foundation; Bloomberg Philanthropies; and faculty and researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Washington, University of Minnesota, University of Louisville, Center for Communicable Disease at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, Microsoft Research, Microsoft AI for Health, and Apple University. CovidActNow.org provided foundational analytic work.
This memo focuses only on key epidemiological metrics and key performance indicators for TTSI response capacity. No COVID response is complete without attention to the other areas of capacity and performance. Implementers may find resources for metrics in the other areas at www.cdc.gov, https://www.who.int/, and non-profit organizations such as those supporting https://covid-local.org/, which provides tools for local decision-makers to link metrics with decisions and policies for expanding and contracting social distancing. Epidemiology
Case incidence can be best measured and communicated with three measures: new confirmed case trend, case trend as an estimate from the new deaths trend, and new COVID hospitalizations, in each case with a seven day rolling average. All three should be used, and they should be used and communicated to the public together.
Metric 1: New confirmed case trend: New daily cases per 100k pop (seven day rolling average); + trend direction and rate
Metric 2: Case trend as an estimate from new deaths trend: New daily deaths per 100k pop * 100 (assuming 1% IFR) (seven day rolling average); + trend direction and rate
5 Metric 3: New daily hospitalizations per 100k pop (seven day rolling average); + trend direction and rate
Because case incidence numbers are affected by testing levels and deaths are a lagging indicator, it is important to track and compare both numbers and the information about cases that each provides. Whichever of metric 1 or metric 2 results in a higher estimate for the number of new cases per 100,000 people, should be used to determine the incidence level on the green, yellow, orange, red scale.
The daily case incidence number will determine whether a jurisdiction is green, yellow, orange, or red with the following cut-offs:
Covid Risk Level Case Incidence
Red >25 daily new cases per 100,000 people
Orange 10<25 daily new cases per 100,000 people
Yellow 1<10 daily new cases per 100,000 people
Green <1 daily new case per 100,000 people
The incidence numbers can be used both at county or MSA level, or other local health district jurisdiction level, and at the state level. Policy decisions about which strategies of disease response are best for a jurisdiction should be made by looking at both the local level and the state picture and considering the dynamic relationship between them.
These COVID levels provide a map that helps decision-makers and community members know where they are. The green level aligns with the CDC’s low incidence plateau threshold. The levels do not in themselves provide information about how to respond, given where a community is. The levels do, however, communicate the intensity of effort needed for control of COVID at varying levels of community spread. In addition to paying attention to the levels, decision-makers should pay close attention to direction of trend and rate of change. While jurisdictions may plateau in yellow, in the orange level spread tends to have more velocity.
At the green level, jurisdictions are on track for containment so long as they maintain maintenance levels of viral testing (i.e. this is not a reference to antibody testing) and contact tracing, sufficient to control spikes and outbreaks. Viral testing should be used both for symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, with the latter need for testing flowing from exposure, role in a congregate setting or other critical context (e.g. elective surgery), or requirements of disease surveillance programs. It is not enough to get to green; one also has to plan to stay green.
At the red level, jurisdictions have reached a tipping point for uncontrolled spread and will require the use of stay-at-home orders and/or advisories to mitigate the disease.
At yellow levels, there may be some initial community spread. At orange levels, community spread has accelerated and is at dangerous levels. At both yellow and orange levels, jurisdictions can make strategic choices about which package of non- pharmaceutical interventions to use to suppress the disease. One jurisdiction may choose stay-at-home orders; another may choose more intensive use of viral testing and tracing programs. All jurisdictions will want some combination of social distancing strategies and infection control.
6 Epidemiology continued
In order to understand optionality at yellow and orange levels, decision-makers should review the different “phasing plans” that policy-makers have developed as guidance. They should be equipped to evaluate whether the “phasing plans” will help them meet their goals, having clearly in mind whether their goals are mitigation or suppression.
Covid Risk Level Case Incidence Intensity of Control Effort Needed
Red >25 daily new cases per 100,000 people Stay-at-home orders necessary
Strategic choices must be made about which package of non-pharmaceutical interventions to use for control. Stay-at-home orders are advised, unless viral Orange 10<25 daily new cases per 100,000 people testing and contact tracing capacity are implementable at levels meeting surge indicator standards (see KPIs below).
Strategic choices must be made about which Yellow 1<10 daily new cases per 100,000 people package of non-pharmaceutical interventions to use for control.
On track for containment, conditional on continuing Green <1 daily new case per 100,000 people use of viral testing and contact tracing for surveillance and to contain spikes and outbreaks.
TTSI Key Performance Indicators
Step 1: Make a strategic choice: Mitigation or Suppression The goal of a TTSI program used for purposes of suppression is to get to green (<1 new daily case/100,000) and stay green.
To achieve this epidemiologically defined goal, the relevant jurisdiction will need capabilities for (1) testing, tracing, and supporting isolation; (2) protecting the vulnerable; and (3) treating the ill.
While the green, yellow, orange, red color levels help us keep our eye on the target of where we want to be with regard to epidemiologically defined goals, these three categories of capability are best measured via key performance indicators that support grading the jurisdiction along each of these three dimensions.
If you are at the green level, you can operate a steady-state TTSI infrastructure that delivers maintenance by being prepared to handle and suppress outbreaks fast, should they arise. You should also expect to deliver disease surveillance.
If your jurisdictions are yellow, orange, or red, you will need to surge TTSI infrastructure and you have to make a strategic choice about whether to pursue mitigation or suppression.
Mitigation = some reduction in the rate of R (the reproduction number of the virus) through diagnostic testing and contact tracing.
Suppression = an effort to get to zero or near zero case incidence.
Both mitigation and suppression require a suite of activities ranging from stay-at-home advisories to 6-foot social distancing to mask wearing to TTSI implementation. TTSI is a tool that can be deployed at either mitigation or suppression levels. However, we strongly recommend jurisdictions that have the capacity to deliver suppression-level surge resources for TTSI to pursue a suppression strategy as they will be on the most efficient path toward a restored economy without future lockdowns.
7 TTSI Key Performance Indicators continued
Maintenance levels of TTSI resources are used in jurisdictions that are green to contain spikes and outbreaks. For jurisdictions at the green level, the goal is to have adequate TTSI resources to stop community spread. It continues to be important to measure communities along all capability measures: TTSI capability, other NPI capability, protection capability, treatment capability, and surveillance capability.
Surge levels of TTSI resources are needed once there is community spread. Jurisdictions at the yellow level have spikes that may also indicate community spread. Jurisdictions at Orange and Red levels are contexts with dangerous community spread. These jurisdictions at orange or red need “surge” levels of TTSI resources to drive the disease back close to near zero case incidence. Once a community has progressed along the path to zero and returned to green level status, the levels of testing capacity and contact tracing it needed should dramatically decline. Jurisdictions at the red level also need stay-at-home orders.
A mitigation surge targets broad and accessible testing, a test positivity rate of 10%, and for 60% of positives not coming from critical context testing to have come from contact tracing.
A suppression surge targets broad and accessible testing, a test positivity rate of <3%, and for 80% of positives not coming from critical context testing to have come from contact tracing.
Successful suppression efforts can work relatively fast to restore jurisdictions to near-zero case incidence in a matter of 1-2 months. In other words, a surge of testing and tracing resources is a temporary need; only maintenance levels are permanent until vaccines become widely available, presuming effective and durable immunity.
Key Performance Indicators for Contact Tracing are as follows:
Suppression/ Yellow, Orange, Mitigation/ Yellow, Orange, Maintenance/ Green Level or Red Levels Red Levels Contact Tracing Capacity
Planning: 30 tracers per 100k (or 1 per
30 tracers per 100k population 4000 in sparsely populated areas) 30 tracers per 100k Number of Tracers (or 1 per 4000 in sparsely Activation: Whichever is higher, 30 per population populated areas) 100k or 5 tracers per every confirmed new daily case

Wendy advances all women’s economic and civic leadership using evidenced-based research and policy solutions to make meaningful change in the Midwest. Wendy’s nonprofit career began as a national major gifts officer with the National Kidney Foundation, Inc. She worked as a nonprofit consultant who focused on board development and strategic planning. She later served as the Executive Vice President of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas.
Wendy earned a B.A. from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri, and she serves on the Missouri Women’s Health Council, the Missouri Foundation for Health’s Missouri Opportunity Incubator, a Junior League of Kansas City Missouri’s C3KC Advisor, the University of Missouri – Kansas City Starr Education Committee, and Park University Civic Advisory Council.
APPOINTMENTS PROJECT® WORKS TO EMPOWER WOMEN AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES BY REACHING GENDER PARITY ON CIVIC BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.
In 2014, the Women’s Foundation commissioned research in partnership with the University of Kansas that identified barriers preventing women from taking on civic leadership roles. The research showed that women tend to undervalue their talent and experiences compared to their male counterparts and that many women would serve, if only they were asked. The Appointments Project is a data solution to call more women to serve and to assure them that their unique knowledge and experiences qualify them for these positions.
The Appointments Project empowers women to navigate the board and commission application process and engages elected officials in making appointments that reflect their communities. The Appointments Project provides cities, counties and states the road map to improve the diversity and effectiveness of civic boards and commissions, which leads to better representation for all in the community. Since the inauguration of this project, the Appointments Project has facilitated over 130 appointments (including 28% women of color) in urban, suburban and rural communities, including two states, 30 cities and 11 four counties.

Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas Employment/Workforce Economic Impact Update 9-1-2020
Beginning in January of 2020, the Wichita region started to experience a significant economic impact due to the pause on production by Boeing of the 737 Max. There are dozens of companies in this area on the Boeing 737 Max supply chain, including Spirit AeroSystems, the largest employer in the state of Kansas.
As the effect of the 737 Max was settling in, the crisis from COVID-19 started to hit the region in March. Due to the mix of industry sectors, it is likely the spread of COVID-19 in the United State and around the world will have a long-lasting impact on the economy in South Central Kansas.
This report is designed to capture the data related to layoffs from both the 737 Max and COVID-19. It also tracks the activity of the Workforce Alliance (WA) in terms of Rapid Response services to employers, job fairs, and job seeker assistance.
The report will be updated on a regular basis and shared with WA Board members, Workforce Center partners and community stakeholders. If there are any questions, please contact Keith Lawing ([email protected]), or Amanda Duncan ([email protected]).
