Hello all. I am looking to incorporate some of the other policies put in place during COVID; namely, mask mandates and de-desifying guidelines, at the county level. My hope is to find a data set that is still being updated, as many seem to be no longer updated as rigourously. The best one I have found thus far is https://healthdata.gov/dataset/covid-19-state-and-county-policy-orders . However, I wanted to see if there has been any other initiative to codify these policies in a more strategic way before sifting my way through the aforementioned data set. Thanks for your time!

Hi @James_Reeder_Purdue_University, the best dataset I’ve found for county-level policies is COVID AMP: https://covidamp.org/

The data will take a fair amount of work to format in an analytically friendly way, but my team and I have looked at ~40 publically available policy datasets, and this seems to be the most complete at the county level.

@Michael_Jackson_Kaiser_Permanente_Washington_Health_Research Thank you for sharing this resource! You are correct, it is easily the most comprehensive policy data set.
