CDC Level of Community Transmission in Kalamazoo County

As of 3:00 p.m., January 13, 2022

Geographic areas (US, states, and counties) are classified by the CDC as having low, moderate, substantial, or high levels of community transmission.

The level of community transmission is based on two measures: the total number of new cases per 100,000 persons in the past 7 days and the percentage of diagnostic and screening nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) that are positive during the past 7 days. The current county values, from the MI Safe Start Dashboard, are shown below.
